Here is a physics quiz on vibrations and waves. Waves carry energy from one point to another, while vibrations are the cause of waves' existence. Do you know the difference between the types of waves and how to measure the magnitude of a wave? This quiz will refresh your understanding of the basics of wave formation, types, and movement and the role played by vibrations when it comes to waves.
