Question

another property of transverse waves is wave speed. it is the distance a wave travels in a certain amount of time.

wave speed is a different property than frequency or wavelength.

• frequency is the number of wave cycles that pass a certain point in a certain amount of time.

• wavelength is the length of one wave cycle.

complete the sentence.

frequency wavelength wave speed

maya creates a wave in the battle rope. the wave has a of 3 hertz (cycles per second), a of 6 feet, and a of 18 feet per second.

Explanation:

1. Hertz (cycles per second) is the unit of frequency, which counts wave cycles over time.
2. Feet is a unit of length, matching the definition of wavelength (length of one wave cycle).
3. Feet per second is a unit of speed, corresponding to wave speed (distance a wave travels over time).

Answer:

Maya creates a wave in the battle rope. The wave has a frequency of 3 hertz (cycles per second), a wavelength of 6 feet, and a wave speed of 18 feet per second.
