Submit quiz
Once you submit, you will no longer be able to change your answers. Are you sure you want to submit the quiz?
1.
Which wave is longitudinal?
radio
ripples on water
light
sound
2.
In a longitudinal wave, a rarefaction is a region where
there is no energy
particles are close together
particles are spread apart
particles are stationary
3.
In a transverse wave the oscillation is
parallel to the direction of travel
perpendicular to the direction of travel
circular only
absent
4.
The wavelength of a sound wave is the distance between
two successive compressions
a crest and a trough
two particles
a compression and the next rarefaction
5.
Why can sound not travel through a vacuum?
It is transverse
It has no frequency
It is too fast
There are no particles to oscillate
6.
A slinky is pushed and pulled along its length. The wave produced is
neither
transverse
longitudinal
electromagnetic
