Exercise on Chapter 18

14. If 20,000 waves are performed in 2 minutes, then the period is . . .

Answer:
F = 20,000  = 166.7 Hz
         120
P =    1    s
      166.7

15. Look at the following figure of a wave.
                                                                      t = 10 s                      
                                                 |                                                      |
The frequency of the wave is . . .
Answer:
F =   1   = 0.1 Hz
       10

16. The frequency of a wave is 200 Hz. If the velocity of the wave is 400 m/s, the wavelength is . . .
Answer:
Wavelength = velocity  = 400  = 2 m 
                      frequency   200

17. Look at the following figure of a transverse wave.
With the frequency of 50 Hz and wavelength of 1 m, the velocity of the wave is . . .
Velocity = wavelength x frequency
               = 1 x 50 = 50 m/s

18. If one complete wave consists of one compression and one expansion part, then the name of the wave is . . .
Answer: Longitudinal wave

19. The velocity of a wave is 100 m/s and its frequency is 150 Hz. The wavelength is . . .
Answer:
wavelength = velocity   = 100  = 0.67 m
                      frequency   150

20. Sound propagates in the air with a speed 350 m/s. If the frequency of the keynote a is 450 Hz, then the wavelength is . . .
Answer:
wavelength = velocity  = 350 = 0.78 m
                      frequency  450
