13. A tuning fork vibrating in air produces sound waves. These waves are best classified
as
(1) transverse, because the air molecules are vibrating parallel to the direction
of wave motion
(2) transverse, because the air molecules are vibrating perpendicular to the direction
of wave motion

of wave motion
(4) longitudinal, because the air molecules are vibrating perpendicular to the direction
of wave motion |

|
|
|
19. A train sounds a whistle of constant frequency as it leaves the train station.
Compared to the sound emitted by the whistle, the sound that the passengers standing
on the platform hear has a frequency that is
(1) lower, because the sound-wave fronts reach the platform at a frequency lower
than the frequency at which they are produced
(2) lower, because the sound-waves travel more slowly in the still air above the
platform than in the rushing air near the train
(3) higher, because the sound-wave fronts reach the platform at a frequency higher
than the frequency at which they are produced
(4) higher, because the sound-waves travel faster in the still air above the platform
than in the rushing air near the train |
