1.)In transverse waves, the displacement of the medium is ________ to the direction of the wave motion.
Parallel
45 degrees
Perpendicular
None of the Above
2.)________ waves do not require a medium.
Sound waves
Electromagnetic waves
Mechanical waves
Transverse waves
3.)The frequency of yellow light is 5.0 x 1014 Hz. Find the wavelength of yellow light.
6000 nm
60 nm
600 nm
60 m
4.)A wave generator produces 16.0 pulses in 4.00 seconds. What is its period?
4.00 s
2.50 s
0.750 s
0.250 s
5.)The velocity of a wave on a string depends on how hard the string is stretched, and on the mass per unit length of the stretch. If FT is the tension in the string, and u is the mass/unit length, then the velocity, v, can be determined.
v = sqrt(FT/u)

A piece of string 5.30 m long is has a mass of 15.0 g. What must the tension in the string be to make the wavelength of a 125 Hz wave 120.0 cm?

22.5 N
63.7 N
84.1 N
97.0 N
