Question

If the speed of a wave is 400 cm/s with a frequency of 80 Hz, what is the wavelength for this wave?

32,000 cm
32,000 m
5 cm
5m

Answer 1

The speed of a wave is represented by the equation:

Speed = wavelength x frequency

We can rearrange this equation to solve for wavelength:

Wavelength = Speed / frequency

Plugging in the given values, we get:

Wavelength = 400 cm/s / 80 Hz
Wavelength = 5 cm

Therefore, the wavelength for this wave is 5 cm.
