Question

If a transverse wave has a velocity of 27.9 meters per

second and a wavelength of 200 meters, what is the waves
frequency?

Answer 1

0.14Hz

Step-by-step explanation:

Given parameters:

Velocity = 27.9m/s

Wavelength = 200m

Unknown:

Frequency of the waves = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we use the wave - velocity equation:

V = F ∧

V is the velocity

F is the frequency

∧ is the wavelength

Now, let us insert the parameters and solve;

So;

27. 9 = F x 200

F = 0.14Hz
