Question

1. A wave traveling at 430 m/s has a wavelength of 4.2 m. What is the frequency of this wave?Explain.

Answer 1

The frequency is related to the wavelength and the velocity of the wave by:

`f=(v)/(\lambda)`

In this case the velocity is 430 m/s and the wavelength is 4.2 m; plugging this values in the equation above we have:

`f=(430)/(4.2)=102.38`

Therefore, the frequency of the wave is 102.38 Hz
