**11. A water-skier is moving at a speed of 12.0 m/s. When she skisin the same direction as a traveling wave, she springs upward every0.600 s because of the wave crests. When she skis in the directionopposite to the direction in which the wave moves, she springs up-ward every 0.500 s in response to the crests. The speed of the skieris greater than the speed of the wave. Determine (a) the speed and(b) the wavelength of the wave.

2a. There are two different speeds to consider in traveling waves. The first is the speed of the particles that make up the medium through which the wave travels. In most cases, these particles oscillate back and forth about an equilibrium position like a mass on a spring. However, this is NOT what we mean by the speed of a wave or wave speed. The wayeszeed, or speed of propagation, is generally determined by the properties of the medium but for all waves traveling through any medium it can be written as v = ? (words and symbols) 2b.

Which statement about waves is false? In a transverse wave, particles move in the same direction as the energy transport. Waves transport energy, but not matter from a source to a receiver. The more energy put into the disturbance creating a wave, the greater the amplitude of the wave.
