Document Summary

Most common waves seen are waves on water (ocean waves) Drop an object into a pond and you get circular waves. Water is going up and down and since it"s connected to the next piece" of water, it causes the next piece to go up and down too, and then continues on and on. One cycle is the period t or frequency 1/t. Wave speed = wavelength/ period = wavelength period. Most of the time, wave speed does not depend on the amplitude or frequency of the wave. It more so depends on the medium of the wave. Question 1 - the breakers at a beach are separated by 6 m and hit the shore with a frequency of 0. 2 hz. Remember, hz is 1/s, which means t would then be 1/t, which is frequency m . 2(1/s) v = 6 0 v = 1. Most important longitudinal wave we deal with everyday is sound- it goes through the air.
