- Ultrasonic waves
- Electromagnetic waves
- Radio waves.
With respect to ultrasonic waves, which of the following statements is incorrect ?
- they travel undeviated through a long distance
- they have a speed greater than the speed of sound in a medium
- they are not easily absorbed in a medium
- they can be confined to a narrow beam
The diagram shown below depicts a displacement time graph of particle a wave travelling with speed 20 m/s.

The frequency of the wave is :
- 50 Hz
- 33.3 Hz
