PERIODIC MOTION & WAVES
(Individual Problem Set)
Instructions: Solve the following problems. 1pt for each correct answer and 1pt for correct solution.

1. A skyscraper sways back and forth due to strong winds on higher altitude. It makes about 9 oscillations for every 60
seconds. Determine the skyscraper’s (a) period and (b) frequency.

ASKED: FORMULA: SOLUTION:


GIVEN:
Period and Frequency Period = time/cycle = 1/F Period = time/cycle
Time = 60s
Frequency = cycle/time = 1/T 60s/9cycles = 6.7 seconds
Cycles = 9
Frequency:
9cycles/60s = 0.15 Hz
2. The period of orbit of Venus is 225 days. Determine its frequency of orbit in Hertz
GIVEN: ASKED: FORMULA: SOLUTION:
T = 225 days or Frequency F = 1/T F = 1/T
19 440 000 seconds F = 1/ 19 440 000 seconds
F = 5.144032922 x 10-8 Hz
3. The period of rotation of Mars is 1 day and 37 minutes. Determine its frequency of rotation in Hertz.
GIVEN: ASKED: FORMULA: SOLUTION:
T = 1 day and 37 minutes Frequency F = 1/T F = 1/T
or 88 620 seconds F = 1/ 19 440 000 seconds
F = 5.144032922 x 10-8 Hz
4. A wave is traveling at 130 m/s. Determine its frequency if its wavelength is 0.8 m.
GIVEN: ASKED: FORMULA: SOLUTION:
v = 130 m/s Frequency F = v/𝜆 F = v/𝜆
𝜆 = 0.8 m F = 130 m/s / 0.8 m
F = 162.5

5. A pendulum completes 10 back and forth cycles in 21.8 s. Solve for the period of the pendulum.
GIVEN: ASKED: FORMULA: SOLUTION:
Time = 21.8s Period Period = time/cycle Period = time/cycle
Cycles = 10 = 1/F 21.8s/10cycles = 2.18 seconds

6. A wave has a length of 6 meters and a frequency of 28 Hz. How fast is this wave?
GIVEN: ASKED: FORMULA: SOLUTION:
𝜆=6m wave speed v = f𝜆 v = f𝜆
f = 28 Hz v = (28 Hz) (6 m)
v = 168 m/s

7. A wave has a frequency of 46 Hz and a wavelength of 1.7 m. What is the speed of this wave?
GIVEN: ASKED: FORMULA: SOLUTION:
f = 46 Hz wave speed v = f𝜆 v = f𝜆
𝜆 = 0.8 m v = (46 Hz) (1.7 m)
v = 78.2 m/s

8. A wave with frequency of 500 Hz is traveling at a speed of 200 m/s. Solve for the wavelength.
GIVEN: ASKED: FORMULA: SOLUTION:
f = 500 Hz wavelength 𝜆 = v/f 𝜆 = v/f
v = 200 m/s 𝜆 = 200 m/s / 500 Hz
𝜆 = 0.4 m

9. A radio station is broadcasting radio signals with a frequency of 1.023 × 108𝐻𝑧. It travels through air at a speed of
2.997 × 108𝑚/𝑠. Solve for the length of these radio waves.
GIVEN: ASKED: FORMULA: SOLUTION:
f = 1.023 x 108 Hz wavelength 𝜆 = v/f 𝜆 = v/f
v = 2.997 x 108 m/s 𝜆 = 2.997 x 108 m/s / 1.023 x 108 Hz
𝜆 = 2.929618768 m
