Waves

1. A wave with a frequency of 500 Hz is traveling at a speed of 250 m/s. What is the
wavelength?

2. (use the answer in the first problem for the given wavelength to solve the 2nd problem)
A wave in a string has a wavelength of ______ and a frequency of 8 Hz. Calculate the
speed of the wave.

3. (multiply the answer in the 2nd problem to 85 and use it as the value of the wave speed to solve the 3rd problem)
What is the wavelength of a sound wave moving at _______with a frequency of 68 Hz?

4. (use the value of the answer in the 3rd problem as the number of seconds the clock ticks to solve the 4th problem)
A clock ticks 3 times every __________. What is its frequency?

5. (multiply the answer in the 4th problem to 25 and use the resulting answer as the number of pushups the man can do, then
solve the this problem)
A man exercising can do _________ pushups in 20 seconds. What is his frequency?

6. (subtract 0.25 from the answer in the 5th problem and use the resulting value as the given time in seconds to solve this
problem)
A bouncing basketball has a period of ______ seconds. What is its frequency?
