Answer to Question 1

The velocity (v) of a wave is the distance the wave travels per unit of time. The
velocity of a sound wave in air is 330 m/s at 0C. The wavelength () is the distance
between two similar points on any two consecutive waves. The wavelength of the
sound wave is given in meters. The frequency is the number of cycles per unit time.
The frequency (f) of the sound wave is measured in Hz.

Answer to Question 2

A longitudinal wave is a wave in which the particle displacement is in the same
direction as the wave motion. A transverse wave is a wave in which the particle
displacement is perpendicular to the wave motion.
