How many values of amplitude are there in one wavelength of a wave, and how is the amplitude related to the energy of a wave?
(Indicates a review question, which means it requires only a basic understanding of the material to answer. Questions without this designation topically require integrating Or extending the concepts presented thus far.) What is the difference between a longitudinal wave and a transverse wave? Give an example of each.
What are the wavelength limits of the audible range of the sound spectrum? (Use the speed of sound in air.)
A sound wave propagates in air at 27C with frequency 4.00 kHz. It passes through a region where the temperature gradually changes and then moves through air at 0C. Give numerical answers to the following questions to the extent possible and state your reasoning about what happens to the wave physically. (a) What happens to the speed of the wave? (b) What happens to its frequency? (c) What happens to its wavelength?
What is a wave? Use the terms wavelength and frequency in your definition.
What is the wavelength of the waves you create in a swimming pool if you splash your hand at a rate of 2.00 Hz and the waves propagate at 0.800m/s ?

Give an example of a wave that does not need a medium in which to travel and a wave that does need a medium.
Bats use sound waves to catch insects. Bats can detect frequencies up to 100 kHz. If the sound waves travel through air at a speed of v=343 m/s, what is the wavelength of the sound waves?
Calculate the speed of sound on a day when a 1500 Hz frequency has a wavelength of 0.221 m.
