1What do waves do?
1. ATransfer energy from 1 place to another
2. BTransfer ripples from 1 place to another
2What are waves caused by?
1. AVibrations or oscillations
2. Bshakes and oscillations
3Frequency means number of [blank_start]waves[blank_end] passing a [blank_start]point[blank_end] in [blank_start]1 second[blank_end]. They are measured in [blank_start]Hertz[blank_end].
1. Awaves
2. Bpoint
3. C1 second
4. DHertz
4Wavelength means distance from [blank_start]one[blank_end] point on a [blank_start]wave[blank_end] to the [blank_start]same[blank_end] point on the next [blank_start]wave[blank_end]
1. Aone
2. Bwave
3. Csame
4. Dwave
5amplitude means distance from [blank_start]rest point[blank_end] to [blank_start]maximum displacement.[blank_end]
1. Arest point
2. Bmaximum displacement.
6Transverse waves are 90 degrees to direction the wave is traveling
1. ATrue
2. BFalse
7Longitudinal waves are at 45 degrees to direction the wave is travelling
1. ATrue
2. BFalse
8longitudinal waves travel parallel to the direction the wave is travelling
1. ATrue
2. BFalse
9To calculate wave speed you do: [blank_start]frequency[blank_end] x [blank_start]wavelength[blank_end]
1. Afrequency
2. Bamplitude
3. Cwavelength
4. Dvibrations
10To calcuate the frequency you do: [blank_start]1[blank_end] [blank_start]divided[blank_end] by [blank_start]time period[blank_end]
1. A1
2. B2
3. C5
4. Ddivided
5. Etimes
6. Fminus
7. Gadd
8. Htime period
9. Iamplitude
