JAMB Physics 1997 Question 28

Question 28

Waves

Ripples on water and light waves are similar because both

  1. A.have the same frequency
  2. B.can be refracted and diffracted
  3. C.are longitudinal waves
  4. D.have the same velocity
Show the answer and explanation

Answer: B (can be refracted and diffracted)

Explanation

Both are waves, so both can be refracted and diffracted. Both are transverse, and their speeds and frequencies are very different.
