1. A wavelength is the distance from the peak of one wave to the next peak. Frequency is the rate at which the particles in a wave vibrate. Since wavelength is a distance and frequency is a time, when you multiply them you need to find the speed of the wave. An example of this relationship is a slinky. When the waves are more separated and it takes less time for the wave to vibrate, the spring clearly moves faster. 2. Transverse waves are waves that have particles moving perpendicular to the wave motion, while longitudinal waves have particles moving parallel to them. An example of a transverse wave is the stadium wave. This is transverse because the wave is formed by moving up and down, but the wave itself moves from side to side. An example of a longitudinal wave is the wave caused during an earthquake. This is longitudinal because the wave is pushed in the same direction as the energy that makes it move.3. Resonance occurs when the sound wave oscillates and causes loud sounds followed by softer sounds. This is due to constructive waves and deconstructive waves...
