1. d and e. The wave speed depends on properties of the medium, not on how you generate the wave. For a string, . Increasing the tension or decreasing the linear density (lighter string) will increase the wave speed.
2. b. The wave is traveling to the right at , so each point on the wave passes , the point of interest, 2.0 s before reaching . The graph has the same shape, but everything happens 2.0 s earlier.
3. d. The wavelength—the distance between two crests—is seen to be 10 m. The frequency is .
4. . , so a shorter wavelength corresponds to a larger index of refraction.
5. e. A crest and an adjacent trough are separated by . This is a phase difference of .
6. c. Any factor-of-2 change in intensity changes the sound intensity level by 3 dB. One trumpet is the original number, so the intensity has decreased by two factors of 2.
7. c. Zack hears a higher frequency as he and the source approach. Amy is moving with the source, so .
