Question

If a wave is traveling at 600 m/s and it's wavelength is 50 m, what is the frequency of the wave?

Answer 1

Answer:  12 Hertz

==========================================

Work Shown:

Frequency = (velocity)/(wave length)

Frequency = (600 m/s)/(50 m)

Frequency = (600/50) s^(-1)

Frequency = 12 Hertz

Note: 1 Hertz (abbreviated Hz) is one cycle per second. One way we can define what the cycle is, is to measure from one peak of the wave to the next neighboring peak. This is what the wavelength is. So saying "12 Hz" is basically saying "12 wavelengths per second".
