Waves Review

Description: The Waves Review includes 38 questions of varying type. Questions pertain to the nature of a wave and to basic properties and behaviors of waves. Some questions focus on mathematical relationships such as the wave equation and the length-wavelength relationships for standing wave patterns. The following concepts are emphasized: electromagnetic waves, mechanical waves, longitudinal waves, transverse waves, energy transport, properties of waves, wavelength, amplitude, frequency, period, wave speed, reflection, interference, boundary behavior, transmission, standing waves and the wave equation.


The Review is available in three versions:

  1. Printable Version
    The printable version includes only the questions. There are no answers and no links to online help. It's perfect for printing and using as a practice test.
     
  2. Questions with Links
    This version includes questions with links to online help that is pertinent to each question. 
     
  3. Finally, you can use the Answers Version of the Review. This inludes questions, answers, explanations/solutions, and links to online help that is pertinent to each question. This version is available with all the questions on one page or with a portion of the questions on one page.
