Statement:

A wave has a wavelength of 0.78 m and a speed of 343 m/s.

To find out:

The frequency of the wave.

Solution:

  • Wavelength of the wave (λ) = 0.78 m
  • Speed (v) = 343 m/s
  • Let the frequency of the wave be v (Nu)
  • We know the formula, v = v (Nu) × λ
  • Putting the values in the above formula, we get
  • 343 m/s = v (Nu) × 0.78 m
  • or, v (Nu) = 343 m/s ÷ 0.78 m
  • or, v (Nu) = 439.74 Hz (approximate value)
  • So, the frequency of the wave is 439.74 Hz.

Answer:

439.74 Nz
