Waves

Which of the following is common to both transverse and longitudinal waves?

A disturbance that occurs only once and lasts for a short duration is called a:

Which wave property depends only on the source and not on the medium?

A particle in a transverse wave moves in a direction that is:

What is the value of the wave number $k$ if the wavelength is $0.5\text{ m}$?

The phase of a particle at a distance $x$ from the origin at time $t$ for a wave $y = a \sin(kx - \omega t)$ is:

In a stationary wave, the distance between an antinode and its nearest node is $5$ cm. The wavelength is:

If $y_1 = a \sin(\omega t - kx)$ and $y_2 = a \sin(\omega t + kx + \pi)$, the resulting stationary wave will have a node at:

The number of nodes in a string vibrating in its $4^{th}$ harmonic is:

What is the number of times sound intensity becomes maximum in 5 seconds if the source frequencies are $440\text{ Hz}$ and $442\text{ Hz}$?

If the period of the first wave is $0.1\text{ s}$ and the second wave is $0.125\text{ s}$, the beat frequency is:

The phenomenon of beats is most easily observed when the amplitudes of the two waves are:
