General properties of waves — practice question

(a)[1]

A laser emits a beam of monochromatic light. State what the term monochromatic means.

(b)[6]

The wave is reflected and refracted at the air-glass boundary. On Fig. 7.1 draw: (i) the wavefronts of the reflected wave (ii) the wavefronts of the refracted wave.

(c)[2]

In the space below, sketch a diagram that shows how the rope looks as the wave moves along it. Label two key features of the wave.
