- Q1Waves on a string are ______ waves.transverseelectromagneticlongitudinal30s
- Q2What is 12 cm in metres?0.12 m0.012 m12 m12 000 m1.20 m30s
- Q3Some 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 ÷ 120.12 ÷ 33 ÷ 0.123 x 0.123 x 1230s
- Q4In experiments, what are the different types of variables?Users link answersLinking30s
- Q5When a wave travels along a string, what is the wave medium?the middle point of a wave, halfway along a wavelengththe stringthe frequency of the wavethe equilibrium position30s
- Q6If waves of different frequencies and wavelengths all have the same speed, what happens if you increase the frequency of waves?increasing the frequency decreases the wavelengthincreasing the frequency does not affect the wavelengthincreasing the frequency also increases the wavelength30s
