wavelength is measured in metres, not metres/second and v=f x lamda, so therefore lamda=v/f not lamda=f/v

Question 11 and 12 are weeiiird

Transverse wave: The motion of particles is perpendicular to the direction of propogation.

Not really 'left to right' :P

92%. it doesn't realy matter that i got the equation for calculating wavelenght wrong because it's in the formula sheet!

EASY !! :D

"When a wave bends in a medium towards the normal"

Refraction isn't just when the waves bend toward the normal. It is also when the waves bend away from the normal (e.g. when the wave speed up like a glass-air boundry)
