Chapter 9, Problem 6STP

To determine

To choose: The correct option.

Answer to Problem 6STP

Option C

Explanation of Solution

Introduction:

The disturbance of a wave means the disturbance of medium particle. With maximum amplitude, the wave will be maximum disturbed.

When a wave travels through any medium, the energy of the wave displace the medium particle from their rest position and the maximum displacement of medium particle from their rest position is called amplitude.Therefore, a wave with greater amplitude can produce greater disturbance. Thus, the correct option is C.

The number of cycle completed by the wave in unit time interval is called frequency of the wave.

Thus, the option A is incorrect.

The speed at which the disturbance produced by the wave propagates in a medium is called wave speed.Thus, the option B is incorrect.

The deviation of wave from it’s actual path is called refraction. Thus, the option D is incorrect.

Conclusion:

Therefore, the option C is correct.
