Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 8.75 Read and Label Wave Diagrams skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

Wave data show a crest at +4 cm, a trough at -4 cm, neighboring crests at x = 2 cm and x = 14 cm, and peaks at t = 1 s and t = 5 s. Which row correctly lists amplitude, wavelength, and period?

A4 cm, 12 cm, 4 s

B4 cm, 6 cm, 4 s

C4 cm, 12 cm, 8 s

D8 cm, 12 cm, 4 s

Solution & Explanation:Amplitude is 4 cm from the midline, wavelength is 14 - 2 = 12 cm, and period is 5 - 1 = 4 s.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

Use the planned graphic with three arrows: Arrow 1 is vertical from midline to crest, Arrow 2 is horizontal from crest to crest on a position graph, and Arrow 3 is horizontal from crest to crest on a time graph. Which set of labels is correct?

AArrow 1 trough, Arrow 2 crest, Arrow 3 wavelength

BArrow 1 wavelength, Arrow 2 amplitude, Arrow 3 period

CArrow 1 period, Arrow 2 wavelength, Arrow 3 amplitude

DArrow 1 amplitude, Arrow 2 wavelength, Arrow 3 period

Solution & Explanation:Vertical height from the midline is amplitude, position spacing is wavelength, and time spacing is period.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

A class diagram incorrectly labels the crest-to-crest distance as period. Which revision fixes the diagram?

AReplace "period" with "wavelength."

BReplace "period" with "trough."

CReplace "period" with "amplitude."

DReplace "period" with "crest."

Solution & Explanation:Crest-to-crest distance on a position graph is wavelength.
