Front

To find the frequency of a wave, you need to:

Back

divide the number of wavelengths passing a point by a time period.

Front

Period is

Back

the time for one pulse to pass a point

Front

Period and frequency are indirectly related.

Back

As one increases, the other decreases.

Velocity of a wave is determined by:

Back

All of the above.

Front

All waves in a medium

Back

have the same velocity.
