1. A standing wave is created in a rope by two children playing jump rope. The wavelength of this standing wave is 8.60 m. 2. When two pulses traveling in opposite directions in a medium meet, they will superimpose and the amplitude at the point where their centers meet will be 0. 3. A sound wave of constant frequency emitted by a siren will have the same frequency observed by a firefighter approaching the siren.
