Wave Motion Questions 1. TRUE or FALSE: A wave is a way to move matter from one position to another. TRUE or FALSE: An ocean wave will transport ocean water from near the middle of the ocean to a location near the shore. One type of a wave is a mechanical wave. Mechanical waves are different than other types of waves. Which one of the following statements describes how mechanical waves are unique? a. Mechanical waves are always visible. b. Mechanical waves require some form of physical material in order to exist. c. Mechanical waves in a medium always cause the medium to take the shape of sine wave. d. Mechanical waves are waves in which particles of the medium vibrate perpendicular to the direction of wave motion. A wave is established in a rope. The diagram below represents a 'snapshot' of the pattern in the rope at a given instant in time. Several points on the rope are labeled with a letter. Identify the letters of the wave crests and the wave troughs. List all that apply. A snapshot in time of a wave is shown at the right. Which one of the diagrams below represents a wave with twice the amplitude and one-half the wavelength? Dias-"IA Dinar-Inn Wit: Acv scars 6. A wave is moving through a medium. A wave crest passes by a specific location in the medium many times each second. This indicates that the wave has a relatively large a. wavelength b. frequency c. amplitude d. period e. speed 7. A wave is traveling in a rope. The diagram below represents a snapshot of the rope at a particular instant in time. A D H Which two points on the diagram are located one wavelength apart? 8. A wave is traveling in a rope. The diagram below represents a snapshot of the rope at a particular instant in time. AAAA H Determine the separation distance between the following points. Express your answer in terms of the number of wavelengths. a. Distance from A to B: b. Distance from A to C: c. Distance from D to H: d. Distance from B to G: 9. Waves transport energy along a medium. Which one wave property is an indicator of the amount of energy transported by a wave? a. wavelength b. frequency c. amplitude d. period e. speed
