General Wave Properties – Online MCQs – Physics 10th

1. This is a region where the particles of a medium are further apart than average.

2. They do not need a medium for propagation.

3. The S.I unit of frequency is the:

4. Diffraction is only significant if the size of the gap is:

5. This is a region where particles of a medium are closer together than average.

6. A ripple tank is used to study the various forms of:

7. A girl throws a small stone into a lake. Waves spread out from where the stone hits the water and travel to the bank of the lake. She notices that ten waves reach the side of the pond in a time of 5.0s. What is the frequency of the waves?

8. Which one of them is an example of mechanical waves?

9. It is a point on a surface wave where the displacement of the medium is at a maximum.

10. When an oscillating object is in simple harmonic motion, its maximum speed occurs when the object is at its:

11. It is a point on a surface wave where the displacement of the medium is at a minimum.

12. The motion in which the friction reduces the mechanical energy of the system and the amplitude of motion reduces is called:

13. Which is not a characteristic of a wave?

14. An example of mechanical waves is:

15. In an oscillating pendulum, the bob accelerates from its extreme position due to:

16. Water waves pass from deep into the shallow region and are then refracted. The characteristics of waves which will remain constant is:

17. It is the maximum displacement moved by a point on a vibrating body from the rest or mean position.

18. A wave transports this from one point to another point.

19. Waves that travel in a direction parallel to the direction of wave motion.

20. Waves that travel in a direction perpendicular to the direction of wave motion.
