A piano tuner hears one beat every when trying to adjust two strings, one of which is sounding
. How far off in frequency is the other string?
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?
In seismology, the wave is a transverse wave. As an
wave travels through the Earth, the relative motion between the
wave and the particles is
Two waves, one with an amplitude of and the other of
are superimposed with destructive interference. What is the resultant amplitude?
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?
Order the following electromagnetic waves from the longest wavelength to the shortest: Gamma Rays, Infrared, Microwaves, Radio Waves, Ultraviolet, Visible Light, X-Rays
In seismology, the wave is a transverse wave. As an
wave travels through the Earth, the relative motion between the
wave and the particles is
A wave oscillates with a speed of and has a wavelength of
. What is the frequency of the wave?
A wave with a constant velocity doubles its frequency. What happens to its wavelength?
A note is played with a wavelength of . If the speed of sound is
, what is the frequency of the note?
