Reading Assignment

1. The speed of a wave is related to the wavelength and the wave frequency by the
equation speed = frequency x wavelength.
2. As the frequency of sound is increased the wavelength of a sound wave shortens.
3. Transverse waves are the medium moving in a perpendicular direction of the wave.
Longitudinal waves are waves in which the vibration of the medium is parallel to the
direction the wave travels.

1. It does not depend on the mass but depends on the length of the string.
2. If a pendulum is shortened the frequency increases and the period is shortened.
3. Both are wrong
4. When dipping the finger more frequently, the wavelength of the water decreases.
5. If you double the frequency the period is halved.
6. They are the same.
7. The period is a third of its time.
