speed
Question 11
11.
A sound wave is an example of a
longitudinal wave.
standing wave.
transverse wave.
primary wave.
Question 12
12.
What happens when sound waves hit a barrier?
The sound waves are focused in the barrier.
The sound cannot penetrate the barrier.
The sound waves are diffracted around the barrier and also reflected by it.
The sound waves experience only destructive interference.

transverse wave
standing wave
longitudinal wave
mechanical wave
