Wave Behavior
Radio waves travel at 3.00 x 10 8 m/s. Calculate the wavelength of your favorite radio station.
A tsunami is formed 1800 km away producing a 60 ft tidal wave that strikes shore 3.0 hr later. Calculate: v wave in m/s

Three waves (3.0 m, 0.70 m, & 1.50 m) pass simultaneously through a medium. Calculate maximum & minimum displacement:
Infrared light with a wavelength of 1.20 m travels through space at 3.00 x 10 8 m/s. Calculate its: frequency & period
A 115 Hz note from a base guitar travels through a room at 345 m/s. Calculate its: wavelength & period
A series of 6.0 ft waves move towards an island. Determine the side of the island where the waves will be the largest. Front of back
Three waves (2.0 m, 1.5 m, & 1.2 m) pass simultaneously through a medium. Calculate maximum & minimum displacement:
