The maximum displacement of vibrating particle of the medium from mean position when a wave is passing through it is called…
a) amplitude                       

b) wavelength
c) frequency                        

d) time period

a

Explanation:The amplitude of a wave refers to the maximum amount of displacement of a particle on the medium from its rest position.


Which of the following measures the energy carried the wave?
a) amplitude                       

b) wavelength
c) frequency                        

d) time period

a

Greater the amplitude of the wave,……..will be the energy carried by it.
a) lower                                 

b) greater
c) same                                 

d) none of these

b

Smaller the amplitude of the wave,……..will be the energy carried by it.
a) lower                                

b) greater
c) same                                 

d) none of these

a

Relation between Frequency and Time Period of Waves:Frequency is inversely proportional to the timeperiod. i.e, f=1T.


Frequency of a wave and its time period are……..of each other.
a) direct                                

b) inverse
c) independent                    

d) all of these
