Question

If the speed of a wave is 1500m/sec and its frequency is 200 Hz, what is its wavelength

Answer 1

The wavelength of wave is 7.5 meter.

Given:

Speed of wave = 1500
`(m)/(s)`

Frequency of wave = 200 Hz

To find:

Wavelength of wave = ?

Formula used:

`\lambda = (v)/(n)`

Where
`\lambda` = wavelength of the wave

v = speed of wave

n = frequency of wave

Solution:

Wavelength of wave is given by,

`\lambda = (v)/(n)`

Where
`\lambda` = wavelength of the wave

v = speed of wave

n = frequency of wave

`\lambda = (1500)/(200)`

`\lambda` = 7.5 m

The wavelength of wave is 7.5 meter.
