measuring speed of waves in liquids. Flashcards
1
Q
what are the issues associated with the required practical?
A
time taken is short compared to our reaction time so the method won’t be very accurate.
2
Q
equation for the calculation of a wavelength.
A
wavelength= distance/ number of weaves.
3
Q
equation for the calculation of frequency.
A
frequency= number of waves/ time taken.
4
Q
equation for the calculation of wavespeed.
A
wavespeed= frequency × wavelength.
5
Q
what other formula could you use by probably shouldn’t?
A
speed= distance/ time.
6
Q
what equipment is needed for the required practical?
A
ruler, stopwatch, camera (optional.)
