Answer:

600 seconds.

Explanation:

A caterpillar climbs up a one meter (100 cm) wall.

For every 2 cm caterpillar climbs up and slides down 1 cm.

That means caterpillar climbs up = 2 - 1 = 1 cm

Caterpillar reaches to the top in 10 minutes. We have to calculate the time in seconds.

Since 1 minute = 60 seconds

Therefore, 10 minutes = 10×60 = 600 seconds

Time involved for the caterpillar to climb to the top will be 600 seconds.

If the speed of a wave doubles while the frequency remains the same, it means
sattari [20]

Answer:

Explanation:

Velocity of a wave is describe as

velocity =Frequency × Wavelength

Mathematically

v = fλ

Hence, Frequency, F = v / λ

Wavelength λ = v/f

So, if the frequency is kept constant, wavelength of the wave becomes directly proportional to velocity of the wave.

And this implies that, as the speed double, the wavelength is double.
