A. In a wave, energy is transported from one end of a medium to the other.
B. A wave does not transport matter.
The relationship between period and frequency is represented by the following
equation: frequency = 1/period or period = 1/frequency. - correct answer. true.

answer. water waves in a ripple tank.
What is true about standing waves? - correct answer. Both a and b.
A. In a standing wave reflected waves from one end of the medium interfere with
incident waves from the source.
B. Standing waves only occur at certain frequencies.
A student sends a pulse traveling on a taut rope with one end attached to a post. What
will the student observe? - correct answer. The pulse will be reflected and inverted if
the rope is fixed to the post.
Waves arriving at a fixed boundary are - correct answer. reflected and inverted.
