Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Given a sound wave graph shows a peak displacement of 0.3 m, distance between compressions is 2 m, and the period is 0.4 seconds, calculate the frequency and draw the wave graph with labels.
💡 Hint: Use the definitions to label the graph correctly.
If you increase the frequency of a wave while wavelength decreases, explain qualitatively what happens to the wave's speed.
💡 Hint: Consider the wave equation and its parameters.
