Question

For a certain transverse wave, the distance between two successive maxima is 0.548 m and eight maxima pass a given point along the direction of travel every 11.4 s. Calculate the wave speed.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Wave speed = distance between two successive maxima / time for eight maxima to pass = 0.548 m / 11.4 s = 0.048 m/s
