Front

What is the frequency of a wave?

Back

Frequency is the number of waves that move past a given point in one second, measured in Hertz (Hz).

If the wave velocity is 20 m/s and the wavelength is 2 m, what is the frequency?

Front

What is the wavelength of a wave with a speed of 25 m/s and a frequency of 50 Hz?

Back

Front

What unit is used to measure frequency?

Back

Frequency is measured in Hertz (Hz).

Front

What does a higher frequency indicate about a wave?

Back

A higher frequency indicates that more waves are passing a point in a given time, resulting in shorter wavelengths.

Front

What is the speed of sound in air at room temperature?

Back

The speed of sound in air at room temperature is approximately 343 m/s.

Front

If a wave has a frequency of 440 Hz and a wavelength of 0.80 m, what is its speed?

Back

Front

What happens to the wavelength if the frequency of a wave increases while the speed remains constant?

Back

If the frequency increases and the speed remains constant, the wavelength decreases.
