    Sheet 1: Sound
    Wave
    1) Describe, using examples, the difference between transverse waves
    and longitudinal waves.
    Solution

    2) The speed of sound depends on the medium through which the


    sound is travelling. Explain how sound travels through a medium.
    Solution

    3) The diagram shows a transverse


    wave.
    (i) Name the distances
    labelled A and B.
    A:
    B:

    (ii) 20 waves pass a fixed point every second. What is the


    frequency of the wave?
    Frequency =

    (iii)Calculate the velocity of the wave if distance A = 1.5 m.


    Velocity =

    4) A bat emitted a sound wave and detected its reflection from a wall
    0.02 s later. Calculate the distance of the bat from the wall. (speed of
    sound in air = 340 m/s)
    Solution

    5) A ship detects the seabed by reflecting a pulse of high frequency


    sound from the seabed. The sound pulse is detected 0.4 s after it
    was sent out and the speed of sound in water is 1500 m/s
    i) Calculate the time taken for the pulse to reach the seabed.
    ii) Calculate the depth of water under the ship.
    iii) Calculate the wavelength of the sound pulse when its
    frequency is 50 000 Hz.
    Solution

    6) What is meant by the frequency and wavelength of a wave?


    Solution

    7) The equation of a transverse sinusoidal wave is given by:


    .
    Hint :
    A sin(wt-kx+Ѳ)
    A: amplitude
    W = 2пf
    K=2п/µ -- (wave number)
    Vmax=Aw

    Find
    (a) the amplitude of the wave,

    (b) the wavelength,

    (c) the frequency,

    (d) the wave speed,

    (e) the displacement at position 0 m and time 0 s.

    (f) the maximum transverse particle speed.

    8) As the wavelength of a uniform wave increases, the velocity of the


    wave …………

    9) As the wavelength of a uniform wave increases, the frequency of the


    wave …………

    10)The diagram below represents a wave. What is the speed of the


    wave if its frequency is 2 hertz?
