Question

Find the frequency of a wave with the wavelength 3.5 m and the speed is 50 m/s. ​

Answer 1

Answer:

8.57 Hz

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Wavelength (λ) = 3.5 m

Velocity (v) = 30 m/s

Frequency (f) =?

The velocity, wavelength and frequency of a wave are related according to the equation:

Velocity = wavelength × frequency

v = λ × f

With the above formula, we can simply obtain the frequency of the wave as follow:

Wavelength (λ) = 3.5 m

Velocity (v) = 30 m/s

Frequency (f) =?

v = λ × f

30 = 3.5 × f

Divide both side by 3.5

f = 30 / 3.5

f = 8.57 Hz

Thus, the frequency of the wave is 8.57 Hz
