15. Mac and Tosh stand 8 meters apart and demonstrate the motion of a transverse wave on a snakey. The wave e can be described as having a vertical distance of 32 cm from a trough to a crest, a frequency of 2.4 Hz, and a horizontal distance of 48 cm from a crest to the nearest trough. Determine the amplitude, period, and wavelength of such a wave. 16. An ocean wave has an amplitude of 2.5 m. Weather conditions suddenly change such that the wave has an amplitude of 5.0 m. The amount of energy transported by the wave is __________. a. halved b. doubled c. quadrupled d. remains the same 17. Two waves are traveling through a container of an inert gas. Wave A has an amplitude of .1 cm. Wave B has an amplitude of .2 cm. The energy transported by wave B must be __________ the energy transported by wave A. a. one-fourth b. one-half c. two times larger than d. four times larger than 18. A teacher attaches a slinky to the wall and begins introducing pulses with different amplitudes. Which of the two pulses (A or B) below will travel from the hand to the wall in the least amount of time? Justify your answer. 19. The teacher then begins introducing pulses with a different wavelength. Which of the two pulses (C or D) will travel from the hand to the wall in the least amount of time ? Justify your answer. 20. The time required for the sound waves (v = 340 m/s) to travel from the tuning fork to point A is ____ .
