M A sinusoidal wave on a string is described by the wave function
IceJOKER [234]

The frequency of the wave is determined as 7.96 Hz.

<h3>Frequency of the wave</h3>

The frequency of the wave is calculated as follows;

y = A sin(ωt - kx)

where;

  • A is amplitude of the wave
  • ω is angular speed of the wave

ω = 2πf

f = ω/2π

f = (50)/(2π)

f = 7.96 Hz

Thus, the frequency of the wave is determined as 7.96 Hz.
