Answer:
Frequency = 2m/s1m=2 waves/s, or 2 Hz
A wave is traveling at a speed of 2 m/s and has a frequency of 2 Hz.
Explanation:
wd Calculating Wave Frequency or Wavelength from Wave Speed
The equation for wave speed:
Frequency = SpeedWavelength or Wavelength = SpeedFrequency
Therefore, if you know the speed of a wave and either the wavelength or wave frequency, you can calculate the missing value.
For example, suppose that a wave is traveling at a speed of 2 meters per second and has a wavelength of 1 meter. Then the frequency of the wave is:
- Frequency = 2m/s1m=2 waves/s, or 2 Hz
A wave is traveling at a speed of 2 m/s and has a frequency of 2 Hz. What is its wavelength?
- Substitute these values into the equation for wavelength:
- Wavelength = 2m/s2waves/s=1 m
