Question

imagine you are shaking the end of a rope to create a series of waves what will you observe if you begin shaking the rope more quickly use the terms wave speed, frequency, and wavelength in your answer

Answer 1

You will notice the wavelengths get smaller and the troughs (frequency) with be higher.

Answer 2

Explanation:

In this case, consider that you are shaking the end of a rope to create a series of waves. A wave can be characterized by the following parameters i.e. the speed, frequency, amplitude and the wavelength.

If you begin shaking the rope more quickly, then the number of oscillations increases. The number of vibrations or oscillations is called the frequency of the wave.

If the frequency of the wave increases, its wavelength will decrease and hence the speed of the wave will increase. i.e. v = υ × λ.
