As Taylor Swift stood knee-deep in the ocean, she noted how high the waves came up on her compared to the day before. Which property of waves was Taylor observing?

Question options:

Amplitude


Speed


Frequency


Wavelength

Respuesta :

Wavelength decreases as frequency increases.
Taylor Swift was observing the amplitude of the waves as compared to the day before.

Answer:

For 1: The correct answer is Wavelength.

For 2: The correct answer is Amplitude.

Explanation:

Wavelength is defined as the distance between two crests or two troughs.

Frequency is defined as the number of oscillations that occur in 1 second.

Amplitude is defined as the maximum displacement from its equilibrium position. It is the vertical distance from the crest to the equilibrium position of the wave.

Intensity of the wave is basically the energy of the wave and it is proportional to the square of the amplitude of the wave.

Speed of the wave the is defined as the distance traveled by a given point on a wave.

  • For 1:

As, the number of crests increases on a point which means that the number of oscillations increases and hence, the frequency increases.

Frequency is inversely proportional to the wavelength of the wave and therefore, increase in frequency will result in the decrease of wavelength.

Hence, the correct answer is Wavelength.

  • For 2:

When Taylor Swift stood knee deep in the ocean, she noticed that the waves were high as compared to the previous day, which means that the vertical distance of the wave has increased from its mean position.

Hence, the correct answer is Amplitude.
