Question

What is the wave speed of a wave that has a frequency of 250 Hz and a wavelength of 0.35 m?

Answer 1

Answer:

87.5 m/s

Explanation:

The speed of a wave is given by

$v=\lambda f$

where

v is the wave speed

$\lambda$ is the wavelength

f is the frequency

In this problem, we have

$f=250 Hz$ is the frequency

$\lambda=0.35 m$ is the wavelength

Substituting into the equation, we find

$v=(0.35 m)(250 Hz)=87.5 m/s$
