Answer:

No. If the moon did not rotate at all we would still see the same visible "fraction" of the moon's surface.

At the full moon phase we would still the entire surface of 1/2 of the moon regardless of which side of the moon we were observing.

Actually the moon does not make one rotation for each revolution of the earth, but rather, one rotation for each complete revolution of the moon around the the earth. That's why we always see the same side of the moon from earth. The back side of the moon is never visible from earth.

Except for the nodes on a standing wave, what is the frequency f of the points executing simple harmonic motion?

Katen [24]

Take into account that in a standing wave, the frequency f of the points executing simple harmonic motion, is simply a multiple of the fundamental harmonic fo, that is:

f = n·fo

where n is an integer and fo is the first harmonic or fundamental.

fo is given by the length L of a string, in the following way:

fo = v/λ = v/(L/2) = 2v/L

becasue in the fundamental harmonic, the length of th string coincides with one hal of the wavelength of the wave.
