Wave equation
Cards in this deck (4)
- 1In our wave unit, what single factor determines the wave speed?MEDIUM
- 2In general, if we want to calculate speed, what two measurements do we make?Distance and time because speed= distance/time
- 3What two wave properties are often measured to help us predict wave speed?Wavelength and frequency
- 4Consider a slinky stretched out so that waves travel through it at 3 m/s. If a wave is generated by shaking the slinky with a period of 2 seconds What will be the frequency?
