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). [Fill in the blanks with the appropriate symbol 2 points per blank]. 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 vector(meters) v(meters/second) = lambda vector(meters)/T(seconds) Frequency (f) and Period(T) are inversely related so ellipsis 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

Answer should be "Time Period", since when X Axis, was displacement, Wavelength represents distance travelled by one wave. Similarly, now when it represents time, It should be time Period in place of wavelength, since time taken for 1 complete wave is Time Period

Answer: Time Period "T"
