Question

A wave has a wavelength of 2.30 m and a frequency of 370.0 Hz. What is the speed of the wave?

851 m/s

Answer 1

answer is 851 on edge :)

Answer 2

Answer : The speed of the wave is 851 m/s

Explanation :

It is given that,

Wavelength of a wave is, λ = 2.3 m

The frequency of the wave is, υ = 370 Hz

The speed of the wave is given as :

`speed=(distance)/(time)`

In case of wave, the distance is equal to the wavelength of the wave and the time taken is equal to the inverse of frequency i.e.
`T=(1)/(\\u)`.

So,
`v=(\lambda)/(T)`

or
`v=\\u * \lambda`

`v=370\ Hz* 2.3\ m`

v = 851 m/s

So, the speed of the wave is 851 m/s
