Answer:
Wavelength,
Explanation:
Given that,
Number of cycles in a spiral spring is 2.91 in every 3.67 s
The velocity of the pulse in the spring is 0.925 cm/s, v = 0.00925 m/s
To find,
Wavelength
Solution,
Number of cycles per unit time is called frequency of a wave. The frequency of the longitudinal pulse is,
The wavelength of a wave is given by :
So, the wavelength of the longitudinal pulse is 0.011 meters. Hence, this is the required solution.
Answer:
C is halved
Explanation:
The frequency and the wavelength of a wave are related by the equation:
where
v is the speed of the wave
f is the frequency
is the wavelength
From the equation above, we see that for a given wave, if the wave is travelling in the same medium (and so, its speed is not changing), then the frequency and the wavelength are inversely proportional to each other.
Therefore, if the frequency doubles, the wavelength will halve in order to keep the speed constant:
