Question

A water wave has a speed of 23.0 meters/second. If the wave’s frequency is 0.0680 hertz, what is the wavelength?

Answer 1

Wavelength =
`(speed of wave)/(frequency of the wave) = (23)/(0.068) = 338.235 meters.` Hope this helps you!

Answer 2

λ = 338m

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the equation that describe the wavelength in function of the velocity and the frequency of the wave

λ =
`(v)/(f)`

where v, is the velocity of the wave and f is the frequency of the wave

The problem gives you that
`v=23.0(m)/(s)` and
`f=0.0680Hz`, so you should replace this values in the equation for the wavelengt:

λ =
`(23.0(m)/(s))/(0.0680Hz)`

λ = 338m
