Question

A wave has a frequency of 15,500 Hz and a wavelength of 0.20 m. What is the

Answer 1

Answer:

3100 m/s

Explanation:

The relationship between frequency and wavelength of a wave is given by the wave equation:

$v=f\lambda$

where

v is the speed of the wave

f is its frequency

$\lambda$ is the wavelength

For the wave in this problem,

f = 15,500 Hz

$\lambda=0.20 m$

Therefore, the wave speed is

$v=(15500)(0.20)=3100 m/s$
