Waves Required Practical

What is the name of this piece of equipment?

• Ripple tank

• Wave machine

• Frequency calculator

• Wave speed apparatus

Why should you measure the distance covered by 10 waves and then divide by 10 to find the wavelength?

• Because dividing by 10 is easy

• To make it a fair test

• To get a more accurate result

Between which two letters is one wavelength?

• A and C

• B and D

• A and D

• A and E

What would happen to the wavelength if the frequency was doubled?

• the wavelength would be halved

• the wavelength would be doubled

• the wavelength would stay the same

• frequency does not affect wavelength

What would happen to the frequency is the wavelength was tripled?

• the frequency would be a third of what it was

• the frequency would be 3 times larger

• the frequency would stay the same

• the wavelength does not affect the frequency of a wave
