Question 1

What does the y-axis represent in a transverse wave graph?

  • Frequency
  • Displacement
  • Wavelength

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider what happens to the wave's height.

Question 2

True or False: The wavelength of a wave can be calculated by measuring the distance between two compressions in a longitudinal wave.

  • True
  • False

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about the definitions of wavelength.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

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.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Use the definitions to label the graph correctly.

Question 2

If you increase the frequency of a wave while wavelength decreases, explain qualitatively what happens to the wave's speed.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider the wave equation and its parameters.
