Question 1 · 1 mark · Difficulty 1/3

What do all electromagnetic waves have in common?

  1. They are all visible
  2. They are all longitudinal
  3. They all need a medium
  4. They all travel at the same speed in a vacuum (3 × 10⁸ m/s) and are transverse
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: DThey all travel at the same speed in a vacuum (3 × 10⁸ m/s) and are transverse
All EM waves are transverse, travel at 3 × 10⁸ m/s in a vacuum, and can travel without a medium. They differ in wavelength and frequency.

CXC CSEC Physics: Waves and Their Properties FAQ

Is Kramizo free for CXC CSEC students preparing for Physics?
Yes — completely free. Every student gets 45 questions a day on the free plan, with no card required and no trial countdown. That free quota works across every subject and every topic in our bank, so you can mix Waves and Their Properties practice with other Physics topics or even switch to a totally different CXC subject without paying anything. Kramizo's optional Pro plan removes the daily cap and adds detailed progress analytics, but the free tier is the real product — used by thousands of GCSE, IGCSE and CSEC students.
Are the Waves and Their Properties questions aligned to the official CXC CSEC Physics syllabus?
Every question is written against the published CXC CSEC Physics specification, including the exact command words (state, describe, explain, calculate, evaluate, etc.), mark allocations, and difficulty tier you'd see on a real CXC paper. Explanations are written in the style of official examiner mark schemes — they tell you what is being awarded marks and why distractors are wrong, not just whether you got it right. The bank is continually refined to match the latest syllabus updates from CXC.
How is Waves and Their Properties typically tested on CXC CSEC Physics papers?
Waves and Their Properties appears across multiple question types on real CXC CSEC Physics papers — most commonly as multiple-choice questions in the objective section, structured short-answer questions in the main paper, and occasionally as part of an extended response. Kramizo's practice bank reflects that mix: 4-option MCQs, true/false statements, fill-in-the-blank key terms, multi-select questions, and ordering questions. Working through the bank gives you exposure to every question style examiners actually use.
