Question

A water wave has a speed of 23.0 meters/second. If the wave’s frequency is 0.0680 hertz, what is the wavelength?

Answer 1

Wavelength = $\frac{speed of wave}{frequency of the wave} = \frac{23}{0.068} = 338.235 meters.$ Hope this helps you!

Answer 2

Answer:

λ = 338m

Explanation:

We can use the equation that describe the wavelength in function of the velocity and the frequency of the wave

λ = $\frac{v}{f}$

where v, is the velocity of the wave and f is the frequency of the wave

The problem gives you that $v=23.0\frac{m}{s}$ and $f=0.0680Hz$, so you should replace this values in the equation for the wavelengt:

λ = $\frac{23.0\frac{m}{s}}{0.0680Hz}$

λ = 338m
