Waves, frequency and wavelength

This assignment tests your understanding of waves, frequency and wavelength. I'd advise you to do this assignment in groups.

  1. What is the wavelength of a 1 Hz wave that propogates at 10 meters per second?
  2. What is the wavelength of a 10 Hz wave that propogates at 10 meters per second?
  3. What is the wavelength of a 100 Hz wave that propogates at 10 meters per second?
  4. What is the frequency of a 1 meter wave that propogates at 1,000 meters per second?
  5. What is the frequency of a 10 meter wave that propogates at 1,000 meters per second?
  6. What is the frequency of a 100 meter wave that propogates at 1,000 meters per second?
  7. What is the propogation speed of a 10 meter, 1 Hz wave?
  8. What is the propogation speed of a 10 meter, 10 Hz wave?
  9. What is the propogation speed of a 10 meter, 100 Hz wave?
  10. Which will have a longer wavelength, a signal with a frequency of 1 Hz or 10 Hz?
  11. Which will have a higher frequency, a signal with a wave length of 10 meters or of 100 meters?
  12. Which will propagate faster, a wave with a frequency of 1 Hz or of 10 Hz?
  13. If we measure wavelength in meters and propogation speed in meters per second, write a formula that shows the relationship between wavelength, frequency and propagation speed.
