Physics Test Class 10

This document contains a physics test with multiple choice questions, short answer questions, and long answer questions about waves and sound. The test covers topics like the properties of transverse and longitudinal waves, the relationship between wave velocity, frequency, and wavelength, factors that determine the loudness and type of sound, and applications of ultrasound like in medicine. It asks students to distinguish between different wave types with examples, calculate time and distance using wave properties, and explain concepts like echo and the medium needed for wave propagation.
