Question

When a particular wave is vibrating with a frequency of 4.00 Hz, a transverse wave of wavelength 60 cm is produced. Determine the speed of waves along the wire.

Answer 1

Speed = 2.4 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

As given in question,

Frequency of the wave = 4 Hz

The wavelength of the wave = 60 cm

As we know,

1 cm = 0.01 m

=>60 cm = 0.6 m

So, the wavelength of the wave = 0.6 m

speed of wave = wavelength x frequency

= 0.6 m x 4 Hz

= 2.4 m/s

Hence, the velocity of wave vibrating with 4 Hz frequency and wavelength of 60 cm is 2.4 m/s.
