Two-Part Question
Part One: The number of waves that occur every second is called the _______?
Part Two: For the wave shown in this diagram, what is the frequency?      .

To play high pitch notes on a guitar, a musician must decrease the length of the strings by pressing down on the strings with his or her fingers as they are being plucked or strummed.
Now imagine that a guitar string is cut into four pieces of different lengths as shown below.  Each piece is stretched between two supports to the same tightness.
If each piece was plucked in the middle with the exact same amount of force, which of the pieces would have the highest number of wave oscillations during one second?

If you press down on a piano key, let's say middle C, it generates a sound wave. Now, imagine that you press it down much harder so that it still plays the same tone but more loudly.
How would pressing the key down harder change the sound wave produced?

Carefully examine the image below.
Select the correct value for the wavelength of this wave., rounded to the nearest tenth of a centimeter.

SEP: Use mathematics and computational thinking (compute frequency).
If the speed of a wave is 260 m/s, and the wavelength is 20m, what is its frequency?

SEP: Use mathematics and computational thinking (compute wave speed).
If the frequency of a wave is 12Hz, and the wavelength is 7m, what is its speed?

SEP: Use mathematics and computational thinking (compute wavelength)
The speed of a wave is 33 m/s, and the frequency of this 17 Hz.  What is the wavelength? (round to the nearest hundredth)

You are in your car waiting for the light to turn green at a traffic light. You hear loud music coming from the car in the next lane. The music is loud enough that you can see your rearview mirror shaking. What would happen to your rearview mirror if the amplitude of the sound waves from the other car was increased?

Stnd 07: Mechanical and Electromagnetic Waves
You are using a telescope to look up into the night sky, and you observe a blinking light from a satellite in orbit around the Earth.
What logical conclusion can you make about the properties of light from this observation?

Stnd 07: Mechanical and Electromagnetic Waves
A ray of light shines through a transparent window. Next it shines through a transparent glass cup containing water and a straw in it. You notice that the straw in the water appears to be misshaped. The light shining through the glass next impacts a mirror on the far side of the room.
