Question
6. A LOUD thunder clap happens 1609 m (one mile) away from you. If sound travels 343 m/s in
air, how many seconds will it take for you to hear the thunder?
d=vt
1609-343*t
1609/343 =t=4.96
7. A periodic ocean wave with wavelength A=8m has a frequency of f=25Hz. What is the wave's
velocity?
8. A transverse wave is observed.to be moving along a lengthy rope. Adjacent crests are
positioned 2.4 m apart. Exactly six crests are observed to move past a given point along the
medium in 9.1 seconds.
a. Determine the wavelength of the wave.
