Which of the following actions would make a pulse travel faster down a stretched string?
1. Move your hand up and down more quickly as you generate the pulse.
2. Move your hand up and down a larger distance as you generate the pulse.
3. Use a heavier string of the same length, under the same tension.
4. Use a lighter string of the same length, under the same tension.
5. Use a longer string of the same thickness, density and tension.

A light wave travels through three transparent materials of equal thickness. Rank is order, from the largest to smallest, the indices of refraction n1, n2, and n3.
1. n2 > n1 > n3
2. n3 > n1 > n2
3. n1 > n2 > n3
4. n3 > n2 > n1
5. n1 = n2 = n3

A wave front diagram shows
1. the wavelengths of a wave.2. the crests of a wave.3. how the wave looks as it moves toward
you.4. the forces acting on a string that’s under
tension.5. Wave front diagrams were not discussed
in this chapter.
