5

If waves can be considered as vibrations, what else can it be defined as?

Frequency

5

What are decibels?

A unit to measure the intensity or the power of sound.


5

What are the units of amplitude?


Meter (m)

5

Relationship between frequency and wavelength

Wavelength is always twice the frequency

10

What is a transverse wave?

A wave that isn't as compact unlike a longitudinal wave

10

The superficial characteristics of harmonic waves?

amplitude, wavelength, frequency, and period.

10

What is the formula of Wave? 

v = f × λ

10

What are the units of frequency?

Hertz (hZ)

10

Harmonic frequencies and their significance

A harmonic is a wave or signal whose frequency is an integral (whole number) multiple of the frequency of the same reference signal or wave.

A spring with a spring constant of 5 N/m is attached to a mass of 0.5 kg. If the mass is displaced 2 cm from its equilibrium position and then released, what is the amplitude of its resulting oscillation?

0.02 meters or 2 centimeters

15

What is the mathematical number of gravity?

9.8

15

what type of communication do beluga whales use to communicate and navigate

15

Measuring frequency using frequency counters or spectrum analyzers

used to make an accurate frequency measurement of technical standards conformity test

15

Define v = f × λ in words 

Speed = Frequency x Wavelength

20

What is echolocation?

A location or object that reflects sound, or can also be known as vibration, and frequencies.

What is the formula of a pendulum?

T = 2π √ L/G

20

What causes a tsunami?

a large and sudden displacement of the ocean, usually the result of an earthquake below or near the ocean floor

20

Measuring amplitude using oscilloscopes

counting the number of vertical divisions between the signal's highest and lowest points

20

Define T = 2π √ L/G in words

time pi2 square root length/gravity

25
If a leaf had a crest, what would the cress be?

the crest would be the highest part of the leaf, because it is the highest point. 

25

What is a longitudinal wave?

A wave that is compact, and causes more vibrations, and oscillations 


25

What type of wave does the piano consist of?

Longitudinal wave


25
