Two boats are anchored in the harbor, separated by a horizontal distance of 24 m.
The boats bob up and down as waves enter the harbor. When one boat is at its
highest point, the other is at its lowest point and there are no wave crests between
them. Each boat makes exactly 4 complete up-and-down cycles every 12.0 S. The
vertical distance between a boat's highest and lowest position is 3.6 m.
Determine the wavelength, frequency, period, amplitude and speed of the waves.
Include at least two significant digits on your answer.
Wavelength (m):
Frequency (Hz):
Period (s):
Amplitude (m):
Speed (m/s):

Astudent is performing an experiment comparing sound and light waves. the student gathers the following data. what conclusion does the student most likely make based on this data? light waves always travel the same speed; however, the speed of sound is determined by the medium that it travels through. all sound waves always have the same energy, so the temperature of the medium does not affect wave speed. light needs to vibrate particles, so it travels fastest in tightly packed solids, while sound does not need a medium, so it travels fastest in a gas. tightly packed particles in solids slow down the light waves; however, sound waves make particles bounce into each other, so they travel faster in solids.
