An elastic string is vibrated to produce a wave.
What type of wave is a wave on a string? (Choose from: Electromagnetic, Longitudinal, Transverse)
The wave has a frequency of 150 Hz150\text{ Hz}150 Hz and a wavelength of 0.24 m0.24\text{ m}0.24 m. Calculate the wave speed using the equation: wave speed=frequency×wavelength\text{wave speed} = \text{frequency} \times \text{wavelength}wave speed=frequency×wavelength
What is the standard SI unit of wave speed?
Practise AQA GCSE Physics Waves in air, fluids and solids with exam-style questions for Foundation and Higher tier. 45 questions covering Transverse and longitudinal waves, Properties of waves, Reflection of waves (physics only), Sound waves (physics only) (HT only), and Waves for detection and exploration (physics only) (HT only), matched to the AQA GCSE Physics (8463) specification and written in Paper 1 and Paper 2 style. Every question includes a full worked solution and mark scheme, so you can see where marks are awarded rather than just whether you got the answer right.
