Question 1
FA student moves one end of a long rope up and down. A wave travels along the rope.
The Figure shows the shape of the rope at one instant.
Figure
a.[1]
Write down the amplitude of the wave.
b.[1]
Use the Figure to find the wavelength of the wave.
c.[1]
Define the term frequency.
d.[1]
The wave on the rope is a transverse wave.
Describe the direction in which the rope moves compared with the direction in which the wave travels.
