  • Q3
    Some waves on a string have a frequency of 3 Hz and a wavelength of 12 cm. How would you calculate the wave speed in m/s?
    3 x 12
    3 ÷ 0.12
    3 ÷ 12

  • Q5
    When a wave travels along a string, what is the wave medium?
    the equilibrium position
    the middle point of a wave, halfway along a wavelength
    the string

  • Q6
    If waves of different frequencies and wavelengths all have the same speed, what happens if you increase the frequency of waves?
    increasing the frequency also increases the wavelength
    increasing the frequency decreases the wavelength
    increasing the frequency does not affect the wavelength
