Question

2. 1. Your best friend has missed a lot of school recently. Your teacher has allowed you to create a study guide and will let your friend use it on the test.

The guide should include:
• descriptions of amplitude, wavelength, frequency, and wave speed.
• Give examples of the wave relationship between amplitude and wavelength (if there is no relationship, explain how you know)
• Give examples of the wave relationship between wavelength and frequency (if there is no relationship, explain how you know)Text to speech

Answer 1

Hi (best friend)! Here is what you missed!

Five wave parameters are defined and measured: the time, the frequency, the amplitude, the wavelength, and the speed. The wave length is the time it takes to pass a full phase. The frequency is just the opposite; it's the number of wave cycles that have been completed in a second.

Lets give a wave of water as an example. Its wavelength is the distance from crest to crest or from trough to trough. The wavelength can also be thought of as the distance a wave has traveled after one complete cycle—or one period. The time for one complete up-and-down motion is the simple water wave’s period T. In the figure, the wave itself moves to the right with a wave velocity vw. Its amplitude X is the distance between the resting position and the maximum displacement—either the crest or the trough—of the wave.
