A major earthquake about 600km off the coast of California occurs at 9:28 AM. If you are 800km from the epicenter and feel the earthquake at 10:43 AM, how fast are the waves traveling?

You and your friends are spending an afternoon at a lake. You are racing a friend across the lake while staying under the water. Being the faster swimmer, you are averaging a pace of about . Another friend on shore is cheering you on. If the average frequency of your friend's voice is 500Hz, and the wavelength of the sound in the water is 0.85m, what is the speed of the sound in the water?

On a piano, the note known as "middle C" has a frequency of roughly 262 hertz.

The coldest temperature ever recorded on Earth was . At this temperature, sound travels at in air.

If Carol plays middle C on a piano at this temperature, what will the sound's wavelength be?

A light wave has a wavelength of . What is its frequency?

A wave emitter is set to a frequency of . It is found that there is between anti-nodes of the waves created by this instrument. What is the speed of the waves as measured by this experiment?

What is the speed of light when passed through glass with an index of refraction of 2?

One of your friends decides to do a massive cannonball into a swimming pool in an attempt to splash the lifeguard. Your friend hits the water from where the lifeguard is and the cannonball creates a series of waves. If one wave is created every 2 seconds, and there are four full waves between your friend and the lifeguard, what is the speed of the waves created?

If we wanted to double wave velocity, but could only change frequency and wavelength by the same factor, by what factor would we have to change both frequency and wavelength?

waves are hitting the side of the pier in a regular fashion. waves hit the pier during , and the waves are between crests, calculate the velocity of the waves.

Determine the wavelength of a wave traveling through a material with tension 10N, a linear mass density of , and frequency 10Hz.
