Jake calculates that the frequency of a wave is 230 hertz, and its wave is moving at 460 m/s. What is the wavelength of the wave?

to find the wavelength of a wave you have to divide the speed by the frequency..it will equal 2 m...460/230=2
V=F Ω
wave speed=frequency*wavelength

Step-by-step explanation:

The relation between frequency, wavelength, and velocity is as follows.


f = (v)/(\lambda)

where, f = frequency

v = velocity


\lambda = wavelength

It is given that frequency of the wave is 230 hertz (or 230 per second) and velocity of wave is 460 m/s. Therefore, calculate the wavelength as follows.


f = \frac{v}{}

or,
\lambda = (v)/(f)

=
(460 m/s)/(230s^(-1))

= 2 m

Therefore, we can conclude that the wavelength of the wave is 2 m.
