Question 22

A student performs a ripple tank experiment to study water waves at different depths. The table below shows the typical data collected during the experiment:

Water depth (mm)Wave speed (cm/s)Wavelength (cm)
8.028.05.6
2.014.02.5

The student suggests three conclusions from the data:

  1. The deeper the water, the faster the wave.
  2. The longer the wavelength, the faster the wave.
  3. The faster the wave, the higher the frequency.

Which conclusions are correct?

A

1, 2, and 3

B

1 and 2 only

C

1 and 3 only

D

2 and 3 only
