Question

Waves have the following properties: velocity (v), wavelength (lambda), frequency (f), period (T), and amplitude (A). Refer to the diagram below. Assume the vertical and horizontal are spatial (meters). If this were a graph where the vertical dimension was a function of time, and the horizontal were time, which property of the wave would one put in place of wavelength? The relationship between wavelength (lambda), period (T), and velocity (v) is: v(meters/second) = lambda (meters)/T(seconds) Frequency (f) and Period (T) are inversely related so...f(waves/second) = 1/T(seconds/wave) Thus = lambda /T = lambda /(1/f) = f lambda Please use the above information to answer the questions on the next page.

Explanation / Answer

a)

wavelength = velocity*Time

b)

Velocity, v
