1. What is the difference between longitudinal and transverse waves? Compare and contrast the direction of their movement, movement of a molecule through the completion of a cycle, and amplitude and wavelength measurements of each type of wave. 2. Suppose that a wave has a period of 0.03 second. What’s its frequency? Be sure to show the steps for your work.

3. Compare a wave that has a period of 0.03 second with a second wave that has a period of 1/4 second. Which wave has the greater frequency? Be sure to show the steps for your work.

4. If a wave has wavelength of 4.5 meters and a period of 0.07 second, what’s the velocity of the wave? Be sure to show the steps of your work.

5. Using the image below, identify the numbered parts of the wave.
