SAMPLE QUESTIONS
Example Questions From the Test
- It decreases because speed equals frequency times wavelength
- It remains constant with the frequency
- It increases because the wave bends
- It becomes zero at the boundary
- The vertical distance from equilibrium to a crest
- The vertical distance from a crest to a trough
- The horizontal distance from one crest to the next crest
- The horizontal distance from equilibrium to the nearest crest
- It can travel only through empty space
- Its oscillations are perpendicular to its direction of travel
- Its oscillations are parallel to its direction of travel
- It always travels faster than a longitudinal wave
