Wave's Quiz

What is the wave?

• A wave is a stationary phenomenon that does not change over time.
• A wave is a solid object that cannot move.
• A wave is a type of particle that does not transfer energy.
• A wave is a disturbance that transfers energy and propogates through space and matter.

What causes a wave?

• Waves are caused by the gravitational pull of the moon.
• Waves are created by the rotation of the Earth.
• Waves are formed by the cooling of the atmosphere.
• Waves are caused by vibraton or oscillations of particles of the medium

What is the categories of wave?

• Sound waves and light waves
• Water waves, and sound waves

• Radio waves and seismic waves
• Transverse waves and longitudinal waves

Mention three characteristics of the wave?

• Short wavelength, low frequency, low energy

• Short wavelength, low frequency, high energy

• long wavelength, high frequency, low energy

• long wavelength, low frequency, low energy

What is the wavelength?

• Wavelength is the amplitude of a wave.
• Wavelength is the speed of a wave.
• Wavelength is the horizontal distance between two crests or between two troughs

• Wavelength is the frequency of a wave.

What is the longitudinal wave?

• A longitudinal wave is a wave where particle displacement is perpendicular to wave direction.
• A longitudinal wave travels faster than a transverse wave.
• A longitudinal wave is a type of electromagnetic wave.
• A longitudinal wave is particles in the medium vibrate parallel to the direction of propagation of the waves

What are the electromagnetic waves?

• Electromagnetic waves are waves that can travel without a medium (vacuum)

• Static fields that do not propagate through space.
• Waves that are solely magnetic and do not require electric fields.
• Waves that only consist of electric fields traveling through space.

What is the speed of the wave?

• The speed of the wave is determined solely by its color.
• The speed of the wave is constant regardless of the medium.
• The speed of measure of how fast the wave propogates through a medium

• The speed of the wave is only affected by its amplitude.

What is the formula of wavelength?

• λ = f / v
• λ = v * f
• λ = f + v
• λ = v / f

What are examples of transverse waves?

• Light wave, water waves

• Sound waves in air
• Seismic P-waves
• Radio waves in a vacuum
