Define longitudinal waves.
Consider their movement compared to transverse waves.
What is the formula for wave speed in terms of bulk modulus and density?
Think about how different materials affect wave speed.
What characterizes a longitudinal wave?
Think of how sound waves operate in air.
The wave speed of a longitudinal wave is dependent on which two factors?
Consider what properties of a medium affect wave travel.
A sound wave travels through water at 1482 m/s. What would be the speed in air, where the density is different?
Use the known density values to approximate the relationship.
Design an experiment to demonstrate standing waves in a pipe; describe the setup and expected observations.
How can you isolate different frequencies in a controlled environment?
