Question 1 Report

Number of wavesTime / s
153

Table 1.1 shows the number of complete waves counted at a point and the time taken. Find the frequency of the waves.

Answer Details

The correct answer is 5 Hz. Frequency is the number of complete waves per second: \( f = \frac{\text{number of waves}}{\text{time}} = \frac{15}{3} = 5\,\text{Hz} \). Multiplying instead of dividing gives 45 Hz. Choosing 3 Hz confuses the time with the frequency.
