When a wave passes into a new medium and its speed decreases while frequency remains the same, the wavelength:
A wave pulse travels 30 m in 5 s. Its speed is:
An earthquake P-wave (speed 5000 m/s) and an S-wave (speed 3000 m/s) are emitted simultaneously. If a seismometer at a distance of 200 km records the P-wave first, how much earlier (in s) does the P-wave arrive compared with the S-wave?
Which of the following is true about seismic P-waves and S-waves?
If you double the frequency of a wave while keeping its speed constant, the wavelength:
A pulse on a string is reflected from a fixed end. The reflected pulse is:
A vertical displacement of a transverse wave is measured from the middle line to a crest. This quantity is called:
A wave has period 0.05 s and wavelength 0.20 m. Its frequency and speed are:
Wavelength is defined as:
A sound wave’s energy is proportional to the square of its amplitude. If amplitude is increased by factor 3, energy increases by factor:
If a wave has frequency 5 Hz, its period is:
