Question

A wave is moving at a velocity of 8 km/sec with a frequency of 10 Hz.

Use the equation you rearranged to determine the wavelength of the wave.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

arn core concepts.

See Answer

1) For a P wave with velocity of 8 km/s (typical upper mantle speed) in a Poisson solid,compute the wavelength for waves with periods of:

a) 15 sec

b) 1 sec

c) 0.1 sec (100 Hz)

2) Repeat question 2 for an S wave in the same medium (Hint: you have to determine the S wave speed).
