Questions and Answers

Why is it recommended to allow the wave to reflect several times?

  • To measure the total distance travelled and time taken to obtain an average for a more accurate result (correct)
  • To increase the amplitude of the wave for a more accurate calculation
  • To change the frequency of the wave for a more accurate measurement
  • To decrease the wavelength of the wave for a more precise outcome

    • How can the speed of the wave be calculated?

  • By measuring the time taken for the wave to travel and using the formula speed = distance ÷ time (correct)
  • By observing the pattern of the wave and using the formula speed = wavelength ÷ frequency
  • By counting the number of reflections and using the formula speed = distance × number of reflections
  • By measuring the amplitude of the wave and using the formula speed = amplitude × time

    • What does measuring the time taken for the wave to travel across the tray help determine?

  • The amplitude of the wave
  • The speed of the wave (correct)
  • The frequency of the wave
  • The wavelength of the wave
