Question

Find the frequency of a wave of wavelength 2.5m and speed 400 m/s

Answer 1

Answer:

The frequency of wave is 160Hz.

Explanation:

Given that the formula of speed is V = f×λ where V represents speed, f is frequency and λ is wavelength.

So first thing, you have to make frequency the subject by dividing wavelength on both sides :

$v = f \times λ \:$

$v \div λ = f \times λ \div λ$

$f = \frac{v}{λ}$

Next you have to substitute the value of v and f into the formula :

Let λ = 2.5m,

Let v = 400m/s,

$f = \frac{400}{2.5}$

$f = 160Hz$
