Try it on paper first. A hint, the key idea and the worked solution are here when you need them.
A graph of pressure against time shows complete waves in .
Frequency (waves each second, in ), time period , wavelength (compression to compression), and . The medium sets ; the source sets .
Have you tried it?
Work it out on paper first. It is fine to get stuck or make a mistake: that is how we learn. When you are ready, go through the solution one step at a time, and check each step against your own.
Step 1. (a) .
Step 2. (b) .
Step 3. (c) The waves get taller (a bigger amplitude); the number of waves in stays (the same frequency).
Answer: ; ; taller waves, the same spacing.
