Question

1.In what type of wave is the vibration perpendicular to the direction of travel of the wave. ____

2.What type of wave vibrates p,arallel to the direction of travel? ______

3.What type of wave contains compressions and rarefactions? _____

4.What type of wave is produced when you move one end of a horizontal spring up and down?_____

5.What type of wave has a wavelength? ____

Answer 1

1. The vibration is perpendicular to the direction of travel of transverse waves.

2. The vibration is parallel to the direction of travel of longitudinal waves.

3. Compression waves contain compressions and rarefactions.
They are longitudinal waves.

4. You produce a transverse wave when you move one end of a
horizontal spring up and down.

5. All waves have wavelengths.

Answer 2

Q 1. In transverse waves the vibration is perpendicular to the direction of travel.

Q 2. In longitudinal waves the vibration is parallel to the direction of travel.

Q 3. Longitudinal waves contain compressions and rarefactions when they travel around.

Q 4. A transverse wave is produced when you move one end of a

horizontal spring up and down.

Q 5. Every type of wave has a wavelength.
