Mechanical Waves and Sound
How many waves pass an observer in one second if they have a frequency of 5 Hz?
A string fixed at both ends has its tension increased during resonance until a particular harmonic shape is achieved; if all other variables remain constant except length halved, how does this affect its resonant frequency?
Which scenario would result in a standing wave pattern on a string fixed at both ends?
In a standing wave pattern formed by two identical traveling opposite directions, what term is used to describe the areas of minimal movement?
In the context of periodic waves, what does the wavelength represent?
What is the unit of frequency for periodic waves in physics?
In a transverse wave, what is the direction of particle displacement relative to wave motion?

What property of a wave represents the maximum displacement from its rest position?
A circular ripple tank experiment shows two points equidistant from source vibrating synchronously but differ how?
What measurement describes the height from the rest position to the crest or trough of a wave?
