Mechanical Waves and Sound
Two waves with the same amplitude meet in phase. What is the result of this interference?
Destructive interference, resulting in zero amplitude.
Constructive interference, resulting in double the amplitude.
The waves cancel each other out.
The waves pass through each other without any change.
What is the relationship between the frequency () and period () of a wave?
A wave travels from one medium to another, where its velocity increases by a factor of 2. If the initial wavelength was , what is the new wavelength?
2\lambda
4\lambda
A string fixed at both ends has a standing wave with 3 antinodes. What is the relationship between the length of the string and the wavelength of the standing wave?
A wave has a frequency of 5 Hz and a wavelength of 2 meters. What is the velocity of the wave?
2.5 m/s
7 m/s
10 m/s
0.4 m/s
Two waves with amplitudes of 3 m and 4 m interfere constructively. What is the resulting amplitude?
1 m
3.5 m
5 m
7 m
For constructive interference, what is the path length difference between two waves, in terms of wavelength ?
3\lambda/2
