The diagram below shows the position of the spring at a particular instant of time. The wavelength of the longitudinal wave is 14.0 cm 2.0 cm 4.0 cm 7.0 cm 2 / 5 2) Compressions and rarefactions are sent out from a loudspeaker cone as it vibrates backwards and forwards. The frequency of vibration is 60 Hz. Point P is currently at the centre of a compression. How much later will the next rarefaction arrive at P? 0.017 s 0.10 s 0.0083 s 0.050 s 3 / 5 3) The wavelength of a wave is the distance from a crest to the next crest. half the distance from crest to trough. the distance from a crest to a trough. the distance from the start of the wave to the end of the wave. 4 / 5 4) In a ripple tank experiment, a dipper is connected to a motor to generate water waves. If the motor rotates at a slower speed, what will be the effect on the frequency, wavelength and speed of the waves produced? Frequency: Increases Wavelength: Decreases Speed: No change Frequency: Increases Wavelength: Decreases Speed: Increases Frequency: Decreases Wavelength: Decreases Speed: Decreases Frequency: Decreases Wavelength: Increases Speed: No change 5 / 5 5) The frequency of a wave is the number of oscillations made by the wave. the time taken to make one complete oscillation. the number of periods made in one second. the number of oscillations made in one second.
