### Wave Properties and Types

#### 8. What is the wavelength of the wave shown in the picture above?
(Provide your answer here)

#### 9. What is the amplitude of the wave shown in the picture above?
(Provide your answer here)

#### 10. Explain the difference between Mechanical waves and Electromagnetic waves.

#### 11. Explain the main difference between Transverse and Longitudinal waves.
(Provide your answer here)

#### 12. What is the speed of a wave that has a wavelength of 3.5 m and a frequency of 5.0 Hz?
(Provide your answer here)

---

#### Explanation of Graphs and Diagrams:

*Note: Since there is no accompanying image for waves, hypothetical explanations below are based on standard wave diagrams.*

- **Wavelength**: The distance between two consecutive crests (or troughs) of the wave.
- **Amplitude**: The height from the equilibrium position (center line) to the crest (or trough).

For further clarity, diagrams generally depict:

1. **Transverse Wave**:
   - Crest: The highest point.
   - Trough: The lowest point.
   - Wavelength: Distance between successive crests.

2. **Longitudinal Wave**:
   - Compression: Region where particles are closest together.
   - Rarefaction: Region where particles are furthest apart.
   - Wavelength: Distance between successive compressions or rarefactions.

Please refer to additional resources or textbooks for specific diagrams and examples.

### Using the graph below for problems #6-9:
The image includes a graph with a waveform plotted on a set of axes. The x-axis measures the horizontal distance in centimeters (cm), and the y-axis measures the vertical height in cm. The graph shows a periodic wave with crests and troughs marked by red dots, and the highest and lowest points indicated by green dots. The waveform starts at the y-axis and extends beyond the 6 cm mark on the x-axis.
