The medium for a sound wave would be

All mechanical waves have amplitude, wavelength, period, and wave speed. Look in the area between the arrow to the word elevation and the aline showing amplitude. How many cycles of the wave is show here?

1

Frequency is the number of full cycles (crest to crest) a wave passes in a second. The unit, a hz, can be converted to what SI unit?

Of the following, which carries the most energy?

1

you were given two equations ---> E = hc/ʎ and c= ʎv In both these equations ʎ stands for

1

because c is constant for the speed of light, wavelength and frequency are considered
