III. TRUE OR FALSE. Carefully analyze the following statements. Shade the
appropriate circle in the answer sheet.

1. Waves are created by a vibration.

2. As a wave moves through a medium, the individual particles of the medium
move from the source of the wave to another location some distance away.
3. Waves are a means of transporting energy from one location to another without
actually displacing matter from one location to another.
4. An ocean wave will transport ocean water from near the middle of the ocean to a
location near the shore.
5. As mechanical waves move through a medium, particles of the medium undergo
a periodic and repeated vibration about a fixed position.
6. When two pulses meet up with each other while moving through the same
medium, they have a tendency to bounce off each other and return back to their
origin.
7. Waves travel through a medium.
8. The propagation of waves is done through disturbance.
9. The bending of light is achieved through 90 degrees incidence.
10. Diffraction is not good when it occurs in microscope
11. Wavelengths play an important role in diffraction.
12. Diffraction is not confined to light waves.
