Transverse And Longitudinal Waves (GCSE Physics)

A longitudinal wave travelling through a spring has regions where the coils are close together and regions where the coils are further apart. The regions where coils are further apart are called:

When a wave passes into a new medium and its speed decreases while frequency remains the same, the wavelength:

Which process can only be explained by transverse waves, not longitudinal waves?

Which of the following is true about seismic P-waves and S-waves?

Which property of a sound wave most directly affects its pitch as heard by a listener?

An earthquake P-wave (speed 5000 m/s) and an S-wave (speed 3000 m/s) are emitted simultaneously. If a seismometer at a distance of 200 km records the P-wave first, how much earlier (in s) does the P-wave arrive compared with the S-wave?

Wavelength is defined as:

A sound wave’s energy is proportional to the square of its amplitude. If amplitude is increased by factor 3, energy increases by factor:

Which of the following is an example of a longitudinal wave?

If you double the frequency of a wave while keeping its speed constant, the wavelength:

The relationship v = f × ? links wave speed v, frequency f and wavelength ?. If a wave has wavelength 2.0 m and frequency 4 Hz, its speed is:
