Question

What is the speed of a wave with a wavelength of 10 mm and a frequency of 5.0 Hz?

Answer 1

Speed = wavelength × frequency
speed = 10/1000 × 5.0
speed = 0.001 × 5.0
speed = 0.005m/s

Answer 2

Answer:

Speed of the wave, v = 0.05 m/s

Explanation:

It is given that,

Wavelength of the wave, $\lambda=10\ mm=0.01\ m$

Frequency of the wave, $\nu=5\ Hz$

The speed of the wave is given by the product of frequency and the wavelength i.e.

$v=\nu\times \lambda$

$v=5\times 0.01$

$v=0.05\ m/s$

Hence, the speed of the wave is 0.05 m/s
