Three causes of a wave are wind blowing over the surface of water, earthquakes underwater, and gravitational pull from the moon and sun.

What type of wave has a wavelength of 3 m forms in water with a depth of one meter?

The type of wave that has a wavelength of 3 meters in water with a depth of one meter is a shallow-water wave. Shallow-water waves have wavelengths that are much longer than the water depth, which causes the wave speed to be dependent on the water depth.


What is the relationship between the movement of the wave and the movement of the medium?

It depends on the type of wave. If it is a transverse wave, then the medium moves in one direction while the wave moves in a perpendicular direction. Flicking a rope up and down causes a transverse wave. Eletromagnetic waves (e.g. light and radio) are transvere. If it is a longitudinal wave then the wave moves in the same direction as the medium. Pushing a slinky causes a longitudinal wave. Sound waves are also longitudinal.


Is it true or false that a transverse wave causes its medium to move parallel to the direction the wave travels?

False. A transverse wave causes its medium to move perpendicular to the direction the wave travels. This means that the particles of the medium move up and down or side to side as the wave passes through.


What is the name of the wave of the rope in science?

The wave produced in a rope is called a transverse wave. This type of wave causes the particles in the rope to move perpendicular to the direction of the wave's propagation.


What causes the frequency of a wave to increase and how does it affect the wave's behavior?

The frequency of a wave increases when the number of wave cycles passing a fixed point in a given time period increases. This causes the wave to have a higher pitch or tone. A higher frequency wave also carries more energy and can travel faster, but it may have a shorter wavelength.
