This collection of problem sets and problems target student ability to use basic mathematical ideas such as frequency, period, wavelength, amplitude, and wave speed to analyze situations and solve problems associated with vibrations and waves.
A student makes the following statements about waves. I In a transverse wave, the particles vibrate parallel to the direction of travel of the wave. II Light waves and water waves are both transverse waves. III Sound waves are longitudinal waves. Which of these statements is/are correct? A I only B II only C III only D I and II only
Problems for you to try: Complete the following practice problems. You MUST show ALL the work outlined in the steps in the example problems. A wave with a frequency of 14 Hz has a wavelength of 3 meters. At what speed will this wave travel? The speed of a wave is 65 m/sec.
What are the wave speed, wave number, and angular frequency of the wave? A student holds an inexpensive sonic range finder and uses the range finder to find the distance to the wall. The sonic range finder emits a sound wave.
Waves Practice Problems. PSI AP Physics B. Name___________________________________. 1. In a wave, the distance traveled by a wave during one period is called: (A) Amplitude (B) Frequency. (C) Wavelength (D) Displacement. 2. A stretched wire resonates in one loop.
This page includes problem sets for starter and regular assignments.
Topics include mechanical vibrations and waves, electromagnetic waves, and optics. These Problem Solving Help Videos provide step-by-step solutions to sample problems. Also included is information about how Physics III is typically taught on the MIT campus.
