I am giving out the answers to the 2.01 Waves quiz 1. The disturbance that occurs as longitudinal waves travel through a medium can be described as a series of: oscillations and refractions
2. We can determine the velocity of a wave when given the frequency and the: wavelength
3. As a wave moves through a medium, particles are displaced and__: return to their normal position after the wave passes
4. To determine the amplitude of a wave, you would need to know the: the distance from the crest of one wave to the crest of the next wave
5. To determine a waves' frequency, you must know the: number of oscillations in a given period of time
6. In order to determine the wavelength, you must know the distance from the: the crest of one wave to the crest of the next wave
7. As a transverse wave travels through a medium, it displaces the particles: perpendicular to the motion of the wave
8. As a longitudinal wave travels through a medium, it displaces the particles: parallel to the direction which the wave travels
9. One property that makes electromagnetic waves differ from other types of waves is that they can: travel in a vacuum
10. If asked to describe a wave, you could say waves are the: continuous transmission of energy from one location to the next
