3 of 6
A progressive wave travels along a rope in the direction M to N.
X marks a point on the rope.

The wave has a frequency of 5.0 Hz, a wavelength of 1.0 m and an amplitude of 0.20 m.
Where will X be after 0.15 s?
Question 4 of 6

A sonar transmitter on a ship produces pulses of sound waves.
Each pulse of sound waves contains 12 complete oscillations.
The frequency of these waves is 8.0 kHz and the speed of sound in seawater is 1.5 × 103 m s–1.
What is the length of one pulse in seawater?
