Questions and model answers on 3.1 General Properties of Waves for the Cambridge O Level Physics syllabus, written by the Physics experts at Save My Exams.
Part 1. In the diagram below, identify the parts of a wave by using the provided definitions. Part 2. On separate sheets of graph paper, draw four different waves with the following measurements. Label the parts and include the measurements.
Demonstrate understanding of wave properties such as wavelength, amplitude, frequency, period, and speed and mathematically relate these properties to one another. Apply the relationship among wave speed, frequency, and wavelength to solve problems. Build understanding of the relationship between energy and amplitude.
Wavelength (λ) Wavelength is defined as; The distance from one point on the wave to the same point on the next wave. In a transverse wave: The wavelength can be measured from one peak to the next peak. In a longitudinal wave: The wavelength can be measured from the centre of one compression to the centre of the next
a. What is the wavelength of the waves? b. What happens to the wavelength if the frequency of pulses is increased? 9. A wave on a lake passes by two docks that are 40.0 m apart. a. If there is a crest at each dock and another three crests between the two docks, determine the wavelength. b. If 10 waves pass one dock every 16.0 s, determine the ...
This exercise is about waves. You will be able to accurately label parts of a wave and describe some of the properties and behaviour of waves. This is a diagram of a transverse wave. Label the following: Amplitude. Crest. Trough. Three different examples of wavelengths. Direction the wave travels.
4 gru 2023 · Wave properties depend on what (type of energy) makes the wave. For example, you splashing in the ocean or an earthquakes creating a tsunami. Descriptive wave properties include: Wavelength: The distance between one point on a wave and the exact same place on the next wave. Frequency: How many waves go past a point in one second. The unit of ...
