What is the frequency of a wave

2 answers:

6 0

The frequency of a wave is the number of waves that passes through a point in a certain time. The less waves that pass in a period of time the lower the frequency of the wave. The more waves that pass in a period of time the higher the frequency of the wave. When measuring wave length the time period used is usually one second.

Explanation:

The frequency of a wave is defined as the number of vibrations or oscillations per unit time. It is also defined as the reciprocal of the time period. Its SI unit is hertz or s⁻¹.

Mathematically, it can be written as :

$\nu=\dfrac{1}{T}$

T is the time period of the wave.

The relation between the frequency and the wavelength is inverse. Also,

$\nu=\dfrac{v}{\lambda}$

The wave having higher frequency have higher energy and vice versa.

Hence, this is the required solution.

To solve this problem we will apply the linear motion kinematic equations. We will find the two components of velocity and finally by geometric and vector relations we will find both the angle and the magnitude of the vector. In the case of horizontal speed we have to

$v_x = \frac{x}{t}$

$v_x = \frac{67}{4.5}$

$v_x = 14.89m/s$

The vertical component of velocity is

$-h = v_y t -\frac{1}{2} gt^2$

Here,

h = Height

g = Gravitational acceleration

t = Time

$v_y$ = Vertical component of velocity

$-1.23 = v_y(4.5)-\frac{1}{2} (9.8)(4.5)^2$

$-1.23= 4.5v_y - 99.225$

$v_y = 21.77m/s$

The direction of the velocity will be given by the tangent of the components, then

$tan\theta = \frac{v_y}{v_x}$

$\theta = tan^{-1} (\frac{21.77}{14.89})$

$\theta = 55.59\°$

The magnitude is given vectorially as,

$|V| = \sqrt{v_x^2+v_y^2}$

$|V| = \sqrt{14.89^2 +21.77^2}$

$|V| = 26.37m/s$

Therefore the angle is 55.59° and the velocity is 26.37m/s
