Question

Consider a periodic wave traveling in a string. It takes the wave pattern a time interval of one period, delta is equal to T, to travel a distance equal to the wavelength, lambda. What is the speed, v, of this wave?

A. v=y/T²
B. v=T/Y
C. v=YT
D. v=Y/T
E.Y²T

Answer 1

The speed v of a periodic wave is calculated using the equation v = λ/T, where λ is the wavelength and T is the period of the wave.

Step-by-step explanation:

The speed v of a periodic wave traveling in a string is determined by the distance it travels over a given time period. Given that a wave travels a distance of one wavelength λ in a time interval of one period T, the wave's speed can be calculated using the equation v = λ/T. None of the provided options A, B, C, E, Y²T are correct; the correct formula is represented by option D, v = λ/T.
