How does amplitude affect wave speed?

• Lower amplitude increases wave speed

• Amplitude does not affect wave speed

• Amplitude affects only the wavelength

• Higher amplitude increases wave speed

What happens to the wavelength when the frequency of a wave increases?

• Wavelength increases

• Wavelength decreases

• Wavelength remains the same

• Wavelength becomes zero

What was the purpose of testing pulses to see if they bounce off each other or pass through each other?

• To determine wave amplitude

• To observe pulse interference

• To measure wave speed

• To calculate wave frequency

What happens when two pulses of the same size meet on the same side of the spring?

• They pass through each other

• They cancel each other out

• They form a larger pulse

• They stop moving

What is observed when pulses with opposite amplitudes meet?

• They reflect back

• They pass through each other

• They cancel each other out

• They form a larger pulse

What is tested when a pulse hits a less rigid boundary?

• Wave amplitude

• Pulse transmission

• Pulse reflection

• Wave speed

What happens to a wave when it transmits from a less rigid to a more rigid medium?

• It reflects back

• It stops

• It slows down

• It speeds up

How does wave speed change when waves with the same amplitude travel through different media?

• Wave speed decreases

• Wave speed remains the same

• Wave speed increases

• Wave speed varies depending on the medium
