8. a) Imagine waves 4 and 5 drawn below the reflector by completing the semi-circles.
Then turn each wave below the reflector ‘upside down’ (ie. reflected) so that the
section of wave below the reflector is now above it.
b) The distance from S to the reflector is 45 mm. In 45 mm there are three waves.
Therefore: wavelength = = 15 mm
c) wave speed = frequency × wavelength
60 mm/s = frequency × 15 mm
frequency = 4 Hz
