Question

Given the number of oscillations a wave completes in a period of time, you can determine the________?
a.) Amplitude
b.) Wavelength
c.) Frequency
d.) Equilibrium

radar · Answer

Lookl at your choices
a.)  You don't know the amplitude.
b.) You don't know the velocity as you have not been provided what kinds of wave.
c.)  what is definition of frequency?
d.)  what does equilibrium have to do with wave characteristics?

anonymous · Answer

i believe its only wavelength and frequency. if wrong plz correct

radar · Answer

How would you calculate wavelength with the information provided by the problem?

radar · Answer

One of your answers is wrong!

anonymous · Answer

thanks though 
its confusing  @radar @MRIN12345moy

anonymous · Answer

if we get the information of frequency from the no of oscillation then we would get wavelength from$$\lambda = c \div f$$

anonymous · Answer

ok thanks

radar · Answer

Please note that the velocity is not provided.

anonymous · Answer

consider c to be the speed of light as it is an electromagnetic wave. if wrng plz correct

anonymous · Answer

In the question,there is no mention for what kind of wave it is.
If it says light wave,then u can use your equation.

radar · Answer

Considering it an EM  wave is an assumption.  You know what happens when you assume.  Just break the word assume down and see. lol (old joke)  I believe there is only one correct choice. (frequency)
