IB skill practice

Use wave speed, frequency, wavelength, and period

Paper 1, Paper 2 5 marks Difficulty 3

Period from frequency

In a second version of the same wave investigation, a repeated wave signal in a school sound lab has frequency \(7\,\text{Hz}\). Calculate its period. Use the diagram first, then calculate the requested value. Enter the numerical result and choose the interpretation that matches the wave meaning.

Worked practice: physics data and result

Read the physical quantities first, then calculate the result and state what it means.
