Question

Consider the waves represented by the following functions.

(a) y = 4 sin (3x ? 15t)


(b) y = 6 cos (3x + 15t ? 2)


(c) y = 8 sin (2x + 15t)


(d) y = 8 cos (4x + 20t)


(e) y = 7 sin (6x ? 24t)


Rank the waves represented by the above functions from the largest to the smallest according to the following conditions. (Use only ">" or "=" symbols. Do not include any spaces or parenthesis around the letters or symbols.)

(i) their amplitudes



(ii) their wavelengths



(iii) their frequencies



(iv) their periods



(v) their speeds

Explanation / Answer

i) c=d>e>b>a


ii) c>a=b>d>e


iii) e>d>a=b=c


iv) a=b=c>d>e


v) c>a=b=d>e
