Answer:
Explanation:
The frequency of a wave can be found using the following formula.
where <em>f</em> is the frequency, <em>v</em> is the velocity/wave speed, and λ is the wavelength.
The wavelength is 10 meters and the velocity is 200 meters per second.
- 1 m/s can also be written as 1 m*s^-1
Therefore:
Substitute the values into the formula.
Divide and note that the meters (m) will cancel each other out.
- 1 s^-1 is equal to Hertz
- Therefore, our answer of 20 s^-1 is equal to 20 Hz
The frequency of the wave is <u>20 Hertz</u>
