How can the wavelength be determined?

By measuring the distance between two points labeled X

By comparing the width of the bands at X and at Y

By comparing the number of particles at X and at Y

By measuring the distance between a point labeled X and a point labeled Y

Which statement correctly describes how a sound wave travels through air?

The wave transfers energy that causes the air molecules to vibrate back and forth.

The wave moves the molecules of air away from the source of the sound.

The wave moves an air molecule in one direction until it collides with another molecule.

The wave moves through the air and gains energy from the moving molecules that it touches.

Which statement correctly compares waves A and B?

Wave B has a greater amplitude than wave A.

Wave A has a greater amplitude than wave B.

Wave B has a greater frequency than wave A.

Wave A has a greater frequency than wave B.

Answer explanation

The crest of B is higher than A, so B has a greater amplitude. Their frequencies are the same because they both have 3 crests.

What is your first and last name?

Which number represents the wavelength of the wave?

Distance between 2 crests

How many complete waves are shown in the diagram?

A complete wave has a crest AND a trough

Which term defines the distance between A and E?

A and E are both crests. Wavelength is the distance between two crests.

Which statement correctly compares waves A and B?

The crest of B is higher than A, so B has a greater amplitude. Their frequencies are the same because they both have 3 crests.

Which is measured by the distance between two troughs of the wave?

Troughs are two points that are the same. The distance between them is the wavelength.

What property of the wave is the student changing?

The height of the waves are changing so they are changing the amplitude.

What is the term for the maximum height of the ribbon?

height = amplitude

If the force that produces the wave is increased in strength, what must be true?

More force would increase the amplitude. Therefore, W would increase.
(While Y could also show the amplitude, the answer says Y would DECREASE. That is wrong)

What is the amplitude of the wave in the diagram?

Amplitude is height from rest to crest.
