What is the change in the velocity and frequency as the water waves enter the shallow region? D A B C 2 / 5 2) The diagram below shows the displacement-position graph of a wave. What is the wavelength of the wave? 8.0 m 7.0 m 1.5 m 3.0 m 3 / 5 3) What is meant by the term wavefront? The distance between two successive crests of a wave. A line joining all the points that are in phase on a wave. A line that joins multiple peaks on a wave together. The distance between a trough and a crest of a wave. 4 / 5 4) The diagram below shows the position of a string at a particular instant of time as a progressive transverse wave travels along it from right to left. Which one of the following correctly states the direction of motion (if any) of the points P, Q and R on the string at the instant shows? D B C A 5 / 5 5) 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?
