What is the speed of a wave, if the wavelength is 100 m and the period is 20 s?

1 answer:

5 0

D. 5 m/s
This is because the formula to find the speed of a wave is the wavelength divided by the period (wavelength/period). Since the wavelength is 100 m and the period is 20 s, the speed is 5 m/s.
If you are confused on the units, then think about it this way: If you put this problem in fraction form, it would be: 100 m/20 s. 100 divided by 20 is 5, but m and s are still there. Remember that this "/" is also a division symbol. Therefore, the unit will be m/s

The best explanation is the difference between the inside temperature and the outside temperature.

If the player doesn't change his emboucher (muscles and position of his lips), then the pitch produced by the instrument depends only on the physical dimensions of its plumbing, and the speed of sound in the tube.

BOTH of those things change slightly when the temperature changes.
