Plan back from the date
Use the planner on this page: pick your exam and the hours you have each week, and it spreads them over the six topics by their share of the test and how sure you feel, with timed checks in the final weeks.

Question 2
| Tension (N) | Wavelength (m) |
|---|---|
| 2.00 | 0.500 |
| 8.00 | 1.00 |
| 18.0 | 1.50 |
| 32.0 | 2.00 |
In an investigation, a student keeps one end of a string vibrating at 30.0 Hz, changes the tension in the string and measures the wavelength of the waves each time (table). Assume the pattern in the data continues. What would the speed of the waves be at a tension of 72.0 N?
