Give two examples each of longitudinal waves and transverse waves.
'Note' is a sound :
A continuous progressive transverse wave of frequency 8 Hz moves across the surface of a ripple tank
If the wavelength of the transverse wave is 32 mm, calculate the speed with which wave travels across the surface of the water.
From diagram given below calculate:
- velocity of P and Q
- frequency of P, when frequency of Q is 512 Hz.
Assume that both wave are traveling in same medium.

The sound waves travel faster ______.
How does the sound produced by a vibrating object in a medium reach your ears?
Match the following
| 1. | Infrasonic | (a) | Compressions |
| 2. | Echo | (b) | 22 kHz |
| 3. | Ultrasonic | (c) | 10 Hz |
| 4. | High-pressure region | (d) | Ultrasonography |
The sound produced by a thunderstorm is heard 10 s after the lightning is seen. Calculate the approximate distance of the thunder cloud. (Given the speed of sound = 340 m s–1.)
What happens to the speed of sound when it gases from a solid to a gaseous state?
