With the frequency set at the mid-point of the slider and the amplitude set at the mid-point of the slider, approximately how many grid marks is the wavelength of the wave (use the pause button and step button as you need to in order to get a good measure, and round to the nearest whole grid mark)?
If the amplitude is increased the wavelength:___________.
a. decreases
b. stays the same
c. increases


Sagot :

Answer:

correct answer is b

Explanation:

The frequency of a wave depends on the properties of medium density and the elasticity properties change the amplitude depends on the energy carried by the wave, that is, the amplitude is proportional to the height of the wave (oscillation).

Consequently the amplitude of independent of the frequency because it depends on different factors.

Therefore when changing the amplitude the wavelength remains constant

the correct answer is b
