1) In an experiment , Lim observes that a simple pendulum completes 30 oscillations in 15.

0
seconds. What is
(a) the frequency of oscillation?
(b) the period of oscillation?

2) A transverse wave is found to have a displacement of 4 cm from a trough to a crest, a

frequency of 12 Hz, and a distance of 5 cm from a crest to the nearest trough. Determine the
amplitude, period, wavelength and speed of such a wave.

3) A girl moves a long slinky spring at a frequency of 3 Hz to produce a transverse wave with a
wavelength of 0.5 m. What is the wave speed of the waves along the slinky spring?
4) A given wave travels at a speed of 4 x 105 ms -1. If the frequency of the wave is 1000 Hz,
calculate the wavelength

5) What are the common characteristics of visible light, ultraviolet rays, infrared rays, gamma
rays and X-rays?
