Match the term with the behavior

Draggable itemCorresponding Item
Refraction
Angle of incidence is equal to the final angle
Reflection
When a wave changes direction due to a change in the velocity of the wave
Interference
When a wave bends around corners or barriers
Diffraction
When waves interact with each other, adding together or subtracting
In the standing wave lab the following wave pattern is generated at a frequency of 33.0 Hz.
The length of the string is 3.0 meters. Use this information as you answer the next 4 items
1

How many wavelengths are depicted?

1

What is the wavelength of this wave?

1

What is the velocity of this wave?

1

If these waves were produced on a string, what is one way to increase the wave speed?

A standing wave in the 4th harmonic is generated in an open ended tube with a frequency of 440 Hz. The speed of the wave is 345 m/s.
1

Sketch the wave presented in the problem

1

What is the wavelength?

1

What is the length of the tube?

1

What is the fundamental frequency for this tube?

2

When a tube that is open on both ends it hit on the table it creates a sound. When one end of this tube is closed off and it is hit again, the sound changes and it makes a lower pitch. Describe how this sound changes and explain why it happens. Include a picture to explain your answer.

1

What harmonic is represented?

1

If the tube length is 20cm, what is the wavelength?

1

If the speed of sound is 345 m/s, what is the frequency in this tube?

2

Data from the speed of sound lab is shown in the graph. Use the graph to determine the speed of sound.

1

The speed of sound lab was repeated in a different room and produced the data in orange. (original data in blue). How does the speed of sound in the orange data compare to the blue data?

1

What is one thing that could be different that produces the change you described? Explain your reasoning.
