A child in an inner tube is bobbing up and down in the ocean and notices that after a wave crest passes, four more crests pass in a time of 42.4 s and the distance between the crests is 47 m.
If possible, determine the following properties for the wave. (If not possible, enter IMPOSSIBLE.)
(a) period s
(b) frequency Hz
(c) wavelength m
(d) speed m/s
(e) amplitude m

Astudent is given an assignment to demonstrate diffraction. he takes a photograph of a straw in a glass of water. the straw appears bent at the water level. which best describes this example? a) this is a good example of diffraction. b) this is an example of dispersion and not diffraction. c) this is an example of refraction and not diffraction. d) this is an example of reflection and not diffraction.

Three resistors are connected in series across a 15-v power supply. if the potential drops across resistors 1 and 2 are 4.1 volts and 3.1 volts, what is the exact potential drop (in volts) across resistor 3?

What is the period of a wave traveling 5 m/s if its wavelength is 20 m/s
