Answer:


  • \lambda = 2.5 \: m

Step-by-step explanation:

To find:-

  • The wavelength of the wave.

Answer:-

We are here given that , the speed of a wave is 350m/s and has a frequency of 140Hz . We are interested in finding out the wavelength of the wavelength of the wave .

As we know that, wavelength, frequency and speed are related to each other as ,


\longrightarrow\boxed{ v = \lambda \\u} \\

where,


  • v is the speed of the wave.

  • \lambda is the wavelength of the wave.

  • \\u is the frequency of the wave.

On substituting the respective values, we have;


\longrightarrow 350 m/s = \lambda * 140Hz \\


\longrightarrow \lambda =(350)/(140) m \\


\longrightarrow \boxed{\boldsymbol \lambda = 2.5 \ m} \\

Hence the wavelength of the wave is 2.5 m .
