Which statement below best explains the difference between the period and frequency of a wave? The frequency is the number of waves that pass a certain point in a given amount of time, where as the period is the shortest amount of time it takes a wave to repeat one cycle. The period is the number-of waves that pass a certain point in a given amount of time, where as the frequency is the shortest amount of time it takes a wave to repeat one cycle.

Questions without this designation topically require integrating Or extending the concepts presented thus far.) 37. Six transverse waves move through different media. They all have the same frequency, but their amplitudes, A, and wavelengths, A, vary as indicated. Rank these waves, according to their propagation speeds, from largest to smallest. That is, rank the wave that is traveling fastest first, and place the wave moving with the slowest speed last. If two (or more) waves have the same speed, give same the same ranking. Explain the reasoning you used in establishing your rankings. Wave I: A = 6 units; A = 3 m Wave II: A = 8 units; A = 2 m Wave III: A = 4 units; A = 6 m Wave IV; A = 6 units; A = 6 m Wave V: A = 8 units; A = 3 m Wave VI: A = 16 units; A = 2 m

People in one section quickly stand up and raise their arms and then sit down; people in the neighboring sections follow suit in succession, resulting in a visible pattern in the crowd that travels around the stadium. Which of the two types of waves is this? Compared to the waves described in this chapter, how is the stadium wave different?
When sound passes from one medium to another where its propagation speed is different, does its frequency or wavelength change? Explain your answer briefly.
