Two notes are played simultaneously. One of them has a period of and the other has a period of
. Which one has a longer wavelength?
A wave oscillates with a speed of and has a wavelength of
. What is the frequency of the wave?
After exercising, Jane takes her pulse. She realizes that her heart is beating rapidly, approximately four beats every second. What is the period of her elevated heart rate?
What is the wavelength of the wave above?
What is the amplitude of the wave above?
A wave with a constant velocity doubles its frequency. What happens to its wavelength?
A wave has a frequency of . What is its period?
A student attaches one end of a Slinky to the top of a table. She holds the other end in her hand, stretches it to a length , and then moves it back and forth to send a wave down the Slinky. If she next moves her hand faster while keeping the length of the Slinky the same, how does the wavelength down the slinky change?
Resonance in a system, such as a string fixed at both ends, occurs when
