IB Physics SL C 2 2 Wave Quantities and Wave Equation Questions question 1

[Maximum number: 1]

This question is in two parts. Part 1 is about the nuclear model of the atom and radioactive decay. Part 2 is about waves.

Part 1 Nuclear model of the atom and radioactive decay

Part 2 Waves
Two waves, A and B, are travelling in opposite directions in a tank of water. The graph shows the variation of displacement of the water surface with distance along the wave at a particular instant.
