Part I: - True/False (6%)
Write “True” if the Statement is correct or “False” if the statement is incorrect on the given
space.
_______1. Intensity is equal to the energy incident on each square meter of a surface per second.
_______2. In transverse wave the vibrations are at right angle to the direction of wave movement.
_______3. Doubling the frequency of a wave source (without altering the medium) doubles the
speed of the waves.
_______4. Conducting materials contract when heated because molecules move more
