Sound — practice question

Fig. 6.1 shows the waveform of a sound wave. The wave moves with constant speed.
(a(i))[2]

On Fig. 6.1, put the letter X beside the marked distance that shows the amplitude of the wave, and put the letter Y beside the marked distance that shows the wavelength of the wave.

(a(ii))[2]

State what happens to the wave’s amplitude and wavelength when the sound is made louder at constant pitch, and when the pitch is raised at constant loudness.

(b)[3]

Calculate the depth of the sea beneath the ship.
