1. A fisherman notices that wave crests pass the bow of his boat every 3.0 s. He measures the distance between two consecutive crests to be 7.5 meters. How fast are the waves traveling?

2. A particular sound wave in air has a frequency of 262 hertz and travels at 330 m/s. How far apart are the compressions of this sound wave?

3. Calculate the wavelength of a radio wave that has a frequency of 108 MHz. (Note: All electromagnetic waves travel at the speed of light)

4. A sonar signal (sound wave) is sent from a ship at the water’s surface to ocean floor below. The speed of sound in water is 1400 m/s. The reflected signal is detected 3.00 s later. How deep is the ocean beneath the ship?

5. What is the wavelength of a 10 MHz ultrasonic sound wave traveling through air on a day when the temperature is 20oC and the speed of sound is 343 m/s?

6. Determine the wavelength of a 5,000 Hz sound wave traveling along an iron rod. (Speed of sound in iron is 3581 m/s.)

7. On a day when the temperature is 20oC the speed of sound in air is 343 m/s. A hiker determines the length of a lake by listening for her echo of a shout that is reflected off a rock cliff at the far end of the lake. She hears her echo 2.5 s after shouting. Estimate the length of the lake. 8. A fishing boat is floating directly above a school of tuna on a foggy day. About 1.5 km away, an engine on another boat backfires. If air temperature is 25oC, what is the time difference between the tuna hearing the backfire and the fisherman on the boat above the tuna hearing the backfire? (Speed of sound in sea water 1396 m/s.) 9. Your buddy Ken is standing 540 m away from you along a concrete sidewalk. Ken drops a stone on the sidewalk. A moment later you hear two sounds: one travels through air the other through concrete, what is the time difference between the two sounds? (Speed of sound in air is 343 m/s and in concrete is 2949 m/s.) 10. Two wave pulses on a string approach one another at the time as shown in the figure below. Each pulse moves with a speed of 1.0 m/s. Make a careful sketch of the resultant wave at the times 2.0 s, 2.5 s, 3.0 s, and 4.0 s, assuming that the superposition principle holds for these waves.

11. Two wave pulses on a string approach one another at the time as shown in the figure below. Each pulse moves with a speed of 1.0 m/s. Make a careful sketch of the resultant wave at the times 2.0 s, 2.5 s, 3.0 s, and 4.0 s, assuming that the superposition principle holds for these waves.
