4 cards from this section. Quick, good the night before a test.
What is the definition of wavelength?
Think about the distance between peaks in a wave.
What type of wave is sound?
Consider how sound travels through a medium.
What is the relationship between frequency and wavelength if the speed of sound is constant?
Consider what happens to one variable when another is increased while keeping speed constant.
True or False: A transverse wave has particles that oscillate parallel to the direction of wave travel.
Recall the definition and motion of particles in transverse waves.
A wave travels at a speed of 340 m/s and has a frequency of 170 Hz. What is the wavelength?
Use the wave speed formula to rearrange and find the missing variable.
In a ripple tank experiment, changing the frequency of the wave alters the interference pattern observed. How would increasing the frequency affect the spacing of the interference pattern?
Think about how increased frequency directly influences wavelength.
