Which of the following describes amplitude?
the distance between one point on a wave and the nearest point just like it
the amount of time it takes one wavelength to pass a point
the amount of energy carried by a wave
the number of waves that pass a given point in one second
What is the speed of a wave with a wavelength of 10 m and a frequency of 5 Hz? (Hint: v = λ𝒇)
15m/s
50m/s
5m/s
2m/s
A tuning fork has a frequency of 280 Hz and the wavelength of the sound produced is 1.5 m. Calculate the velocity of the wave. (Hint: v = λ𝒇)
140m/s
187m/s
210m/s
420m/s
A wave is moving toward shore with a velocity of 4 m/s. If its period is 0.4 s, what is its wavelength? Hint: you may want to find frequency first, then wavelength! Or you can throwback to our traditional s = d/t calculations!
1.6m
3.6m
4.4m
10m
A wave travels 1.5 m/s with a frequency of 0.45 Hz. What is the wavelength of the wave? (Hint: v = λ𝒇, also you need to do a little algebra for this one)
1.05m
.675m
1.95m
3.33m
