  5. 5Which statement about progressive longitudinal waves is not correct?
    1. AA The oscillations of the particles are parallel to the direction of travel of the wave energy.
    2. BB They have a series of nodes and antinodes.
    3. CC They need a medium through which to travel.
    4. DD They transfer energy.
  6. 6A bicycle gear wheel is a disc with 50 ‘teeth’ equally spaced around its edge, as shown. The gear wheel is rotated 10 times each second. A springy strip of metal is vibrated by the rotating ‘teeth’.
