Physics Worksheet - Wave Properties

This worksheet is designed to assess your understanding of wave concepts.

AB
A sound wave produced by a clock chime is heard 515 m away 1.50 s later. What is the speed of sound of the clock's chime in air? The sound wave has a frequency of 436 Hz. What is the period of the wave? What is the wave's wavelength????
What is the speed of a periodic wave disturbance that has a frequency of 3.50 Hz and a wavelength of 0.700 m????
The speed of a transverse wave in a string is 15.0 m/s. If a source produces a disturbance that has a frequency of 6.00 Hz, what is its wavelength????
Five pulses are generated every 0.100 s in a tank of water. What is the speed of propagation of the wave if the wavelength of the surface wave is 1.20 cm????
A periodic longitudinal wave that has a frequency of 20.0 Hz travels along a coil spring. If the distance between successive compressions is 0.600 m, what is the speed of the wave????
An ocean wave has a length of 12.0 m. A wave passes a fixed location every 3.0 s. What is the speed of the wave????
The frequency of yellow light is 5.1 x 10^14 Hz. Find the wavelength of yellow light. The speed of light is 3.00 x 10^8 m/s.???
