Energy Transfer in Waves
Physics ⇒ Waves and Sound
Energy Transfer in Waves starts at 8 and continues till grade 12.
QuestionsToday has an evolving set of questions to continuously challenge students so that their knowledge grows in Energy Transfer in Waves.
How you perform is determined by your score and the time you take.
When you play a quiz, your answers are evaluated in concept instead of actual words and definitions used.
See sample questions for grade 9
A pebble is dropped into a pond, creating ripples. What is being transferred across the water?
A sound wave travels from air into water. Does the energy transfer speed up, slow down, or stay the same?
A string is plucked to create a wave. What happens to the energy at the end of the string if it is fixed?
Describe how energy is transferred in a sound wave through air.
