Questions and Answers

What is the primary factor that determines the speed of a wave propagating in a medium?

  • The characteristics of the medium (correct)
  • The shape of the wave
  • The amplitude of the wave
  • The frequency of the wave

    • What is the definition of a period in the context of wave motion?

  • The reciprocal of the frequency
  • The amplitude of the wave
  • The number of oscillations in one second
  • The time interval between two consecutive oscillations (correct)

    • How is the frequency of a wave related to its period?

  • The frequency is the reciprocal of the period (correct)
  • The frequency is the square root of the period
  • The frequency is the product of the period and the amplitude
  • The frequency is the square of the period
