Calorx Olive International School Unit Test - 6: MCQ'S

This document contains a unit test for Grade 9 Physics with 24 total marks. It includes 5 multiple choice questions testing concepts like frequency, amplitude, speed of sound, and the ability to hear high frequencies. It also includes a structured question with parts (a) measuring wavelength and calculating frequency from a scale diagram of water waves, (b) drawing wavefront positions in a slower region, and (c) stating what happens to frequency when passing to a slower region. The test covers key wave and sound concepts.

Structured
1. A water wave in a tank travels from a region where the speed of the wave is faster into a region
where it is slower.

Fig. 6.1 is a one-quarter scale diagram that shows the wavefronts in the region where the speed
is faster.

Fig. 6.1 (scale: 1.0 cm represents 4.0 cm)

(a) (i) Take measurements from the scale diagram in Fig. 6.1 to determine the wavelength of
the water wave as it travels in the faster region.

wavelength = ................................................ [2]

(ii) The speed of the wave in the faster region is 0.39 m /

s. Calculate the frequency of the wave.

frequency = ................................................ [2]

(b) On Fig. 6.1, draw lines that indicate the positions of the wavefronts of the water wave in the
slower region. [2]
(c) State what happens to the frequency of the water wave as it passes into the slower region.
