How does changing the amplitude of the wave change the wave?

A larger amplitude wave is taller. The distance from peak to trough is greater.

A larger amplitude wave is taller. The distance from peak to trough is smaller.

A larger amplitude wave is shorter. The distance from peak to trough is greater.

A larger amplitude wave is shorter. The distance from peak to trough is smaller.

Describe the effect of changing the wavelength?

A larger wavelength wave has a shorter distance from peak to peak.

A larger wavelength wave has a longer distance from peak to peak.

A larger wavelength wave has the same distance peak to peak as a shorter wavelength wave.

Describe the effect of changing the frequency.

A larger frequency wave has more cycles per second passing a given point.

A larger frequency wave has fewercycles per second passing a given point.

A larger frequency wave has the same number of cycles per second passing a given point.

A wave has a wavelength of 0.82 m, a frequency of 263 Hz, and an amplitude of 3 m. What is the speed of the wave? Round your answer to two decimal places.

A wave travels through the ocean at a speed of 8.4 m/s. A man standing on the beach and notices that a wave hits the shore every 8.9 seconds. How much distance is between the crest of two adjacent waves?

A wave travels at a speed of 458 m/s and has a distance of 0.63 m between each wave crest. How many wave cycles pass an observer each second? Round your answer to two decimal places as necessary.

What are the differences between these two types of waves? Describe the characteristics of these waves.

Longitudinal Waves: The waves____________are______________________ and______________________ of the slinky coils___________________ and this oscillation is to the wave's forward motion.

Transverse Waves:The oscillation of the medium is ____________________ to the wave's forward motion.

What types of waves can you make with each type of equipment?

Slinky: [ Select ] ["Longitudinal Only", "Transverse Only", "Both Longitudinal and Transverse", "Neither Longitudinal nor Transverse"]

Rope: [ Select ] ["Longitudinal Only", "Transverse Only", "Both Longitudinal and Transverse.", "Neither Longitudinal nor Transverse"]

A wave is shown in the diagram below and the graph of the oscillations is shown below that. What is the wavelength of the wave to the nearest centimeter?
