TUTORIAL 1.1Longitudinal waves and Transverse waves

1. PHG11Q28Diagram shows a wave on a string with twopoints P and Q. The wave is moving in the direction shown.

What will happen next?A P will move to the rightB Q will not move.C P will move up.D Q will move up.

2. PRK11Q27Diagram shows a transverse wave produced bya thin rope.

Determine the wavelength and the amplitude of the wave.Wavelength Amplitude

A 20 10B 20 20C 40 10D 40 20

3. TIMES11Q32A stretched slinky spring on a horizontal plane

with one end attached to a vertical wall. A pulse of waves givenon the other end of the spring produced a series ofcompression and rarefaction regions.

The wavelength can be measured fromA P to RB P to SC P to Q

D P to T

4. MLK11Q27Diagram shows the movement of the slinkyspring.

Which of the following is true?A The wavelength is the distance between S and U.B This movement produces transverse waves.

C A particle at S oscillates perpendicularly to the direction ofpropagation of wave.

5. KDH11Q29 Which diagram shows a transverse wave withamplitude 4 cm and wavelength 8 cm?

6. SBP11Q31Which is the correct example of a longitudinalwave and of a transverse wave?

Longitudinal Wave Transverse waveA Gamma ray LightB Sound Gamma rayC Light RadioD Radio Sound

7. SBP11Q33Diagram shows a ball floating in a water tank.

Which is the correct movement of the ball, when the wavepropagates?

8. JHR10Q33Diagram shows a wave pattern.

Which of the distances labeled A, B, C or D, represents one

wavelength?
