Question

What is the frequency of a mechanical wave that has a velocity of 1.70 m/s and a wavelength of 12.05 m? (3 decimal places)

Answer 1

0.141Hz

Step-by-step explanation:

Given parameters:

Velocity of the wave = 1.7m/s

Wavelength = 12.05m

Unknown:

Frequency of the wave = ?

Solution;

To solve this problem, we use the wave velocity equation which is expressed below;

V = F ∧

V is the velocity

F is the frequency

∧ is the wavelength

Now insert the parameters and solve;

1.7 = F x 12.05

F = 0.141Hz
