A wave is known to have a frequency of 1.5 Hz, wavelength of 4.0 cm, and amplitude of 0.75 cm when it is on high tension. Try the problems, then use the simulation to check your answer if you need to.
Question 1
1.

Identify the crest.

Question 2
2.

Identify the trough.

Question 3
3.

Identify the equilibrium.

Question 4
4.

Identify the wavelength.

Question 5
5.

Identify the amplitude.

Question 6
6.

If the amplitude of the wave is doubled, the wave will have a resulting frequency that is:

Question 7
7.

If the frequency of the original wave is doubled, the wave will have a resulting amplitude that is:

Question 8
8.

If the frequency of the original wave is doubled, the wave will have a resulting wavelength that is:

Question 9
9.
If the amplitude of the wave is doubled, the wave will have a resulting velocity that __________.
Question 10
10.

Using the information for the original wave, the wave velocity is:

A bat chasing a moth emits a sequence of three chirps (speed of sound = 350 m/s) every 0.010 seconds and later hears the echos of the chirps as detailed in the diagram.
Question 11
11.

Estimate how much time passed between the first chirp and the return of the first echo.

Question 12
12.

Estimate the relative distance to the moth when the bat hears the first echo.

Question 13
13.

Estimate the relative distance to the moth when the bat hears the third echo.

Question 14
14.

Describe the relative motion of bat and the moth.

Question 15
15.

What could you infer if the bat heard echo 1 first in his left ear, then echo 2 simultaneously in both ears, and then echo 3 first in his right ear?

Question 16
16.

What could you infer about the moth if the echo was louder versus quieter at the same location?
