Features of waves test questions - WJEC

1

What is the amplitude of the wave shown?

A wave plotted on a height-distance graph. The height on the x-axis ranges from 15 cm to -15 cm.

2

If the speed of a water wave decreases to half of its original value in shallower water, what will happen to its wavelength?

3

Which of these types of electromagnetic radiation has the highest frequency?

4

What is the unit for frequency?

5

A wave travels with a speed of 5 m/s. It has a frequency of 10 Hz. What is the wavelength of the wave?

6

What is the wavelength of this wave?

A wave plotted on a graph where height is plotted against position. The wave crosses the x-axis at 10cm, 30cm and 50cm.

7

What does a geostationary satellite do?

8

Which of the following is a longitudinal wave?

9

A water wave travels 6 m in 2 s. What is the speed of the wave?

10

Which type of electromagnetic radiation travels the fastest?
