The formula for calculating velocity of wave is expressed as

v = fλ

where

v = velocity of the wave

λ = wavelength

f = frequency of the wave

From the information given,

v = 340

f = 502

Substituting these values into the formula, we have

340 = 502λ

Dividing both sides of the equation by 502,

340/502 = 502λ/502

λ = 0.68 m

The wavelength is 0.68 m

Sally travels by car from one city to another. She drives for 26.0 min at 83.0 km/h, 52.0 min at 41.0 km/h, and 45.0 min at 60.0

The average speed is determined by the following formula:

average speed = [sum of (speed * time for which that speed was traveled)] / total time

average speed = [(83 * 26 + 41 * 52 + 60 * 45 + 0 * 15) / 60] / [(26 + 52 + 45 + 15) / 60]
*note: The division by 60 is to convert minutes to hours. We see that the 60 cancels from the top and bottom of the division

average speed = 50.65 km/hr

The total distance traveled is equivalent to the numerator of the fraction we used in the first part. This is:
Distance = (83 * 26 + 41 * 52 + 60 * 45 + 0 * 15) / 60

Distance = 116.5 kilometers
