15 randomly selected questions from a bank of 60 · one attempt · 15 minutes on the clock.
Topics covered
- Wave motion — formation of waves in a rope, slinky spring, and ripple tank; transverse and longitudinal waves
- Waves as a means of energy transfer without transfer of matter, and the distinction between mechanical and electromagnetic waves
- Properties of waves — reflection, refraction, and diffraction, demonstrated with a ripple tank
- Wave characteristics — speed (v), frequency (f), wavelength (λ), time-period (T), amplitude, crest, trough, wavefront, compression, and rarefaction
- The relations f = 1/T and v = fλ, with worked numerical problems
- Simple Harmonic Motion (SHM) — conditions for SHM, the simple pendulum, and the ball-and-bowl example
- The formula T = 2π√(L/g) for a simple pendulum, and damped oscillation
