To understand the relationships among the parameters that characterize a wave. It is of fundamental importance in many areas of

physics to be able to deal with waves. This problem will lead you to understand the relationship of variables related to wave propagation: frequency, wavelength, velocity of propagation, and related variables. Note that these are kinematic variables that relate to the wave's propagation and do not depend on its amplitude.------------------------------------A. Traveling waves propagate with a fixed speed usually denoted as v (but sometimes c). The waves are called __________ if their waveform repeats every time interval T.-transverse-longitudinal-periodic-sinusoidalB. Solve this equation to find an expression for the wavelength ?.C. If the velocity of the wave remains constant, then as the frequency of the wave is increased, the wavelength __________.-decreases-increases-stays constantD. The difference between the frequency f and the frequency ? is that f is measured in cycles per second or hertz (abbreviated Hz) whereas the units for ? are __________ per second.E. Find an expression for the period T of a wave in terms of other kinematic variables.F. What is the relationship between ? and f?
