The energy of a wave is calculated by multiplying the frequency of the wave by the wavelength of the wave. True False

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[E=\frac{ hc }{ \lambda } =h \nu \]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so its fasle then right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes. It would be speed of the wave.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

To calculate the frequency of a wave, take the wave speed and divide by the wavelength of the wave. True False

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that is true isnt it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes it is.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What is the period of vibration for a wave with a frequency of 100 hertz? 100 seconds 10 seconds 0.1 seconds 0.01 seconds

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what do you think ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

isnt this 0.01 senconds

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes.. the period is 1 divided by frequency.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

How fast is a wave moving if it has a frequency of 10 Hz and there are 4 meters between crests? 40 m/s 34 m/s 72 m/s 64 m/s

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think its 40 m/s

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[v=\nu*\lambda \] you can calculate from here.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes, that is true.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

How does the medium move in relation to the direction of energy transport in a longitudinal wave? perpendicular parallel side by side underneath

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what do you think ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

this one i have no clue of ?? :/

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think it would be perpendicular

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sound wave is a longitudinal wave. when sound wave propagates in medium, all molecules that in medium move as parallel with wave. So ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no nevr mind paralle right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Which type of wave is characterized by circular motion? transverse wave longitudinal wave primary wave surface wave

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wouldnt that be surface wave

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Seismic waves are mechanical waves. True False
