Two waves pulses with equal positive amplitudes travel on a cord approaching each other. What is the result of the oscillation when the pulses reach the same point?
It is constructive interference with zero amplitude
It is constructive interference with doubled amplitude
It is destructive interference with negative amplitude
Sun
Which one is the equation for wave speed?
velocity = frequency x hertz
velocity = frequency x wavelength
wavelength = wave height x distance
Velocity = frequency / time
