Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A wave has a frequency of 10 Hz and travels at a speed of 300 m/s. Calculate the wavelength. What does this tell you about the wave?

💡 Hint: Use the fundamental wave equation.

Question 2

Consider two waves, one with a wavelength of 2 m and another with a wavelength of 4 m. Which wave has a higher frequency if both travel at the same speed?

💡 Hint: Remember how frequency relates to wavelength in the wave equation.
