Pregunta 6

Pregunta
A 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’.

Respuesta
  • 0.66 m
  • 1.5 m
  • 6.6 m
  • 500 m

Respuesta
  • A
  • B
  • C
  • D

Pregunta 8

Pregunta
Two wave sources are oscillating in phase. Each source produces a wave of wavelength λ. The two waves from the sources meet at point X with a phase difference of 90°. What is a possible difference in the distances from the two wave sources to point X?
Respuesta
  • A λ/8
  • B λ/4
  • C λ/2
  • D λ

Pregunta 9

Pregunta
Which statement about electromagnetic waves in a vacuum is correct?
Respuesta
  • A Amplitude is inversely proportional to velocity.
  • B Frequency is inversely proportional to wavelength.
  • C Intensity is proportional to amplitude.
  • D Velocity is proportional to wavelength.
