1. | Is this wave a longitudinal wave or a transverse wave? |
2. | Is the speed of the wave affected by the frequency or the amplitude? |
3. | One factor determining wave speed is the mass of the string. As the thickness of the string increases so does its mass - how does this affect the speed? Note that the tension in the string also affects the speed, but you can't see that here because the tension is always the same. |
4. | What happens to the wavelength as the frequency increases? What about when the wave speed increases? |
