5 A \machine produces compression waves in a spring that is 120 cm long by pulsing twice every second. The back and forth moveme
nt of the pulse creates compressed sections of the spring that are 30 cm apart and travel toward the other end of the spring. Which property of the wave does the value of two per second describe? A. wavelength B. intensity C. frequency D. amplitude
The machine produces compression waves in a spring that is 120cm long and it pulse twice every seconds. The property the wave exhibits by exhibiting the value of two per second is the Frequency.
Amplitude of a a wave is the maximum displacement from the equilibrium position. The amplitude of an object is equal to one half the path of the vibration path. The amplitude of a wave is proportional to the amplitude of the source. Amplitude measures how big a wave is . Amplitude of a wave usually look at the energy of a wave so it is not the amplitude .
The frequency of a wave gives the number of wave that passed fixed point at a given time.
The correct answer is C) frequency. In fact, the frequency is the number of wave crests (or pulses) per seconds. In our problem, the machine that produces the wave pulses two times per second, so this is exactly the frequency of the compression wave.
The correct answer to the question above is that the magician is seeking the wavelength of the standing wave. The part of a standing sound wave, which is its wavelength, the magician is seeking when playing a musical note of a specific pitch.
