what type of wave is this?
longitude wave
100
draw a picture of a transverse wave and label the crest.

A wave has a wavelength of 20 meters and a wave speed of 260/s, what is the frequency of the wave?
show your work here:
260 = 20 * x
/20 /20
x= 13 Hz
200
A longitude wave consists of what? chose one.
A. crest and trough in the medium
B. compression and refraction in the medium
C. crest and trough in a vacuum
D. both A and B
B. compression and refraction in the medium
200
draw a picture of a transverse wave and label the trough.

A wave has a frequency of 60 and a wavelength of 20 meters. What is the wave speed? show your work.
S= 60*20 =1200
300
What type of wave is this?
Transverse wave
300
draw a longitudinal wave and label the rarefaction.
300
A wave has a wavelength of 10 meters and a wave speed of 340 m/s what is the frequency of the wave? show your work.
340 = x*10
/10 /10
x = 34 hz
400
What happens when two tranverse waves meet?
They create a bigger wave.
400
draw and label the amplitude on a transverse wave
400
What is the equation to find the frequency of a wave.
m/s = x* m
/m /m
x = hz
500
What is the difference between a transverse wave and a longitudinal wave?
Transverse is a up and down motion while longitudinal wave is created by a push movement.
500
draw and label the compression and a wavelength of a longitudinal wave
500
what is the velocity measured in?
Meters per second (ms2)
