Question

another property of transverse waves is wave speed. it is the distance a wave travels in a certain amount of time.
wave speed is a different property than frequency or wavelength.

• frequency is the number of wave cycles that pass a certain point in a certain amount of time.
• wavelength is the length of one wave cycle.

complete the sentence.
frequency wave speed wavelength
maya creates a wave in the battle rope. the wave has a of 3 hertz (cycles per second), a of 6 feet, and a of 18 feet per second.

Explanation:

• The first blank: Since the unit is hertz (cycles per second), which is the unit for frequency (number of wave cycles per unit time).
• The second blank: The unit is feet, which is a unit of length. Wavelength is the length of one wave cycle.
• The third blank: The unit is feet per second, which is a unit of speed. Wave speed is the distance a wave travels in a certain amount of time.

Answer:

frequency, wavelength, wave speed
