What trait of a wave is described by its wavelength?A.The distance from the peak to the bottom of a waveB.The number of waves that pass a point in 1 secondC.The speed and direction that the wave is travelingD.The distance from one wave peak to the next wave peak

Read each description of wave properties. Drag each description into the correct box. the distance a wave travels before repeating the distance a wave travels in a certain amount of time the number of waves that pass a given point in a certain amount of time half the veritcal distance from the trough to the crest of a wave Frequency Wavelength Speed Amplitude

What does the velocity of a wave describe?A.The distance from one peak to the next peakB.The number of waves that pass a point in 1 secondC.The height of the wave from trough to peakD.The speed the wave is traveling through space

Wavelength is the between one point on a wave and the nearest point just like it.

What is the velocity of a wave?A.The distance between two wave peaksB.The distance between the high and low points of the waveC.How much energy the wave hasD.How quickly the wave travels

1Which of the following is NOT equal to the wavelength of a wave?The distance from the trough of one wave to the trough beside itThe distance from a point on one wave to the equivalent point on the wave beside itThe frequency of the wave (in Hz) divided by its speed (in m/s)The distance from the peak of one wave to the peak beside it2What is meant by the amplitude of a wave?The number of waves passing a point per secondThe distance from a point on one wave to the equivalent point on the wave beside itThe maximum displacement of a point on a wave from its undisturbed positionThe time taken for one complete wave to pass a point3What is meant by the frequency of a wave?The number of waves that pass a point per secondHow often a wave passes a pointThe total number of waves produced by a sourceThe number of seconds it takes for one complete wave to pass a point4A pianist plays a note which has a frequency of 440 Hz.  Calculate the wavelength of this sound wave produced by the piano if the speed of sound in air is approximately 330 m/s.0.75 m1.33 m (2 d.p.)145,200 m110 m5A wave of wavelength 10 m is travelling at a speed of 100 m/s.  Calculate the period of this wave.0.1 seconds10 seconds1,000 seconds1 second6Brian uses a starter pistol to mark the start of a 100 m sprint.  The sound wave produced by the pistol reflects from a nearby wall, and he hears the echo of the shot 600 ms (milliseconds) after the pistol was fired.  Calculate how far the wall was from Brian.  The speed of sound in air is approximately 330 m/s.99 m198 m1,980 m990 m7A sound wave travels from air into water.  In air, the sound wave travels at a speed of 340 m/s and has a wavelength of 20 m, and in water, it travels at a speed of 1500 m/s.  Calculate the wavelength of the sound wave in water.88.24 m25,500 m4.53 m0.01 m
