Which equation could be rearranged to calculate the frequency of a wave?
1 answer:
Answer:
wavelength = speed/frequency
Explanation:
Required
Determine which of the options can be used to calculate frequency
The relationship between wavelength, speed and frequency is as follows;
---- Equation 1
When option (1), (2) and (4) are rearranged, they do not result in the above formula; only option (3) does
Checking option (3)
Multiply both sides by Frequency
Divide both sides by Wave Length
--- Equation 2
<em>Comparing equation 1 and 2; both equations are the same.</em>
<em>Hence, option (3) answers the question</em>

Answer:
Phase Difference
Explanation:
When the sound waves have same wavelength, frequency and amplitude we just need the phase difference between them at a particular location to determine whether the waves are in constructive interference or destructive interference.
Interference is a phenomenon in which there is superposition of two coherent waves at a particular location in the medium of propagation.
When the waves are in constructive interference then we get a resultant wave of maximum amplitude and vice-versa in case of destructive interference.
- For constructive interference the waves must have either no phase difference or a phase difference of nλ, where n is any natural number.
- For destructive interference the waves must have a phase difference of n×0.5λ, where n is any odd number.
