23. Which wave,the top or bottom,has larger frequency? Explain why.

24. In the bottom wave,how many complete wavelengths are there from 0- 25 on the x axis ?

23 Which wavethe top or bottomhas larger frequency Explain why 24 In the bottom wavehow many complete wavelengths are there from 0 25 on the x axis class=

Respuesta :

Higher frequency means larger. The top has a higher frequency because it oscillates faster than the bottom wave.

There are 2 complete wavelengths between 0-25.

Answer: 1) Wave 1 has larger frequency.

2) 2 complete wavelengths are there from 0- 25 on the x axis

Explanation:

1) Frequency is defined as number of times waves produced with in a particular period of a time. One cycle corresponds to a pair of crest and trough.

In the first diagram ,there are 4 complete cycles and 1 half cycle in the interval of 30 units on the x-axis.

In the second diagram, there 2 complete cycles and 1 one-forth cycle in the interval of 30 on the x-axis.

Wave one has larger frequency than wave 2.

2) 2 Complete wavelengths are there from 0- 25 on the x axis

Wavelength of a wave is defined as distance from one crest to another or distance from one trough to anther trough. In the second diagram there are 2 complete wavelengths  from 0 to 25 on axis.
