**Which of the following characteristics of the sound waves does not depend on the source that generates the sound waves?

-wavelength       

-Frequency

-Amplitude   

-speed

***In a mechanical wave the molecules of the medium oscillate perpendicular to the propagation of the wave. This is a ____ wave.

-longitudinal      

-weird

-shock  

-transverse

***Two waves traveling in the same direction meet each other in a medium. If the two waves are out of phase, what kind of interference will result?

-instructive       

-constructive  

-Standing  

-destructive

***If we double the frequency of a wave, the period of oscillations of the wave will....

-be cut in half      

-quadruple

-stay the same  

-double

***What will happen to the speed of the wave's propagation if the frequency is doubled?

-quadruple      

-stay the same  

-be cut in half

-double

Explanation / Answer

1. Amplitude

2.Transverse

A transverse wave is a moving wave that consists of oscillations occurring perpendicular to the direction of energy transfer.

3.

Destructive interferance

Construcitve interferance of waves occur when they are in phase ,Destrucitve interferance occur when half cycle out of phase.

4.

Be Cut in half

Since Time Period of oscillations

T =1/f

So Time period is inversly proportionla to frequency ,so TIme period of oscillations will cut in half.

5)

Double

Speed of wave

V =Lambda *f

Since Speed of wave is directly proportional to frequency ,it will double
