Which of the following motions does NOT describe a wave?
the tossing of a ball from one point to another
the bobbing of a buoy in the ocean
the oscillation of a guitar string when plucked
the rippling of water in a pond
A wave’s speed is defined as
distance per two points of a wave
distance per unit time
y=v/T
e=mc2
The amplitude of a wave
determines how quickly a wave travels
is the distance between successive wave crests
is equivalent to a wave’s equilibrium position
corresponds to a wave’s energy
If the frequency of a wave decreases, the wave’s
displacement decreases
speed increases
period decreases
wavelength increases
If the period of a wave increases, the wave’s
frequency decreases
speed increases
wavelength increases
displacement decreases
A wave’s speed is determined by its
wavelength and orientation
wavelength and amplitude
frequency and wavelength
frequency and amplitude
