What is light, radio, acoustic and surface water waves?

400
Characteristic that dictates the pitch (note) of a sound
What is frequency?
400
The color when all the different wavelengths of visible light are combined together.
What is white?
500
A wave where the direction of motion is the same as the direction of particle motion
What is a longitudinal wave?
500
Waves travel at a speed of 4 m/s at a frequency of 2 Hz. Therefore the wavelength must be_________.
What is 2m?
500

Give one condition for interference?

The sources of the waves must be coherent, which means they emit identical waves with a constant phase difference. 

The waves should be monochromatic - they should be of a single wavelength.
