Question

Earthquakes generate shock waves that travel through earth's interior to other parts of the world. The fastest of these waves are longitudinal waves, like sound waves and are called primary or, just p waves. A pwave has a very low frequency typically around 0.050Hz. If the speed of a pwave with this frequency is 8.0km/s what is its wavelength

Answer 1

16 Hz

Step-by-step explanation:

wavelength = v/ f where v=speed (0.8km/s)

f=frequency (0.050Hz)

= 8.0/ 0.050

= 16Hz

Hope this helps

Ace that homework

Good luck ✅
