Two students grab a slinky and start waving it up and down. A third student counts the number of waves that pass by every second and measures the distance between the wave peaks. This data is recorded and a graph is made to show the results.Determine the velocity of the wave produced.
A) 1 m/s
B) 2 m/s
C) 3 m/s
D) 6 m/s

Answers
Answer 1
Answer:
Velocity = frequency * wavelength
v = fλ
Just pick any points on the graph for frequency f and corresponding λ
Taking the first red point at the top.
λ = 6m f = 1 Hz
v = 6 * 1
v = 6 m/s
