Question

Read the section in your Physics textbook or verified resource that discusses wave phenomena, simple
harmonic motion and the relevant terminology (i.e., wavelength, frequency, period, and wave speed).
Complete the problems on this sheet and submit it before proceeding with the experiment.
1. A wave of frequency 400.0 Hz has a wavelength of 23 cm.
a) What is the period of the wave in seconds?
b) What is the period of the wave in ms (milliseconds)?
c) What is the wave speed in m/s (meters per second)?
I
2. An oscilloscope is set-up to display the above sinusoidal wave as a function of time. If the horizontal
axis is calibrated at 1 millisecond/cm, what will be the spacing in centimeters between successive maxima
on the screen?
