Physics autumn quiz: Waves

1. 1Amplitude is the [blank_start]displacement[blank_end] from the [blank_start]rest position[blank_end] to the [blank_start]crest[blank_end] and in measured in [blank_start]metres[blank_end]

   1. Adisplacement
   2. Brest position
   3. Ccrest
   4. Dmetres
2. 2The wavelength is the length of a [blank_start]full cycle[blank_end] of the wave, from [blank_start]crest[blank_end] to [blank_start]crest[blank_end] and is measured in [blank_start]metres[blank_end]. The symbol for wavelength is the Greek letter [blank_start]lambda[blank_end].

   1. Afull cycle
   2. Bcrest
   3. Ccrest
   4. Dmetres
   5. Elambda
3. 3Frequency is the number of [blank_start]complete[blank_end] waves passing a certain point per [blank_start]second[blank_end] or the number of waves produced by a [blank_start]source[blank_end] each second. This is measured in [blank_start]hertz[blank_end]. One hertz is one [blank_start]wave per second[blank_end].

   1. Acomplete
   2. Bsecond
   3. Csource
   4. Dhertz
   5. Ewave per second
4. 4In tranverse waves the [blank_start]vibrations[blank_end] are [blank_start]perpendicular[blank_end] to the direction of [blank_start]energy transfer[blank_end] of the wave.

   

   1. Aperpendicular
   2. Bvibrations
   3. Cenergy transfer
5. 5In longitudinal waves the [blank_start]vibrations[blank_end] are [blank_start]parallel[blank_end] to the direction of [blank_start]energy transfer[blank_end] of the wave.

   

   1. Avibrations
   2. Bparallel
   3. Cenergy transfer
6. 6[blank_start]Speed[blank_end] [blank_start](m/s)[blank_end] = [blank_start]Frequency[blank_end] [blank_start](Hz)[blank_end] x [blank_start]Wavelength[blank_end] [blank_start](m)[blank_end]

   1. ASpeed
   2. B(m/s)
   3. CFrequency
   4. D(Hz)
   5. EWavelength
   6. F(m)
7. 7We can see objects because of the [blank_start]reflection[blank_end] of light.

   

   1. Areflection
   2. Brefraction
   3. Cdiffraction
8. 8When light travelling in the same direction reflects from an uneven surface, the light reflects off at [blank_start]different[blank_end] angles.
   When light travelling in the same direction reflects from an even surface, the light reflects off at [blank_start]the same[blank_end] angle.

   1. Adifferent
   2. Bthe same
   3. Cthe same
   4. Ddifferent
