Question

One end of the rope is vibrated to produce a wave with a wavelength of 0.25 m. The

Frequency of the wave is 3.0 Hz. What is the speed of the wave? *

1)3.00m/s
2)2.50m/s
3)0.75m/s
4)1.25m/s

Answer 1

3) 0.75m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

The wavelength of a wave is calculated using the formula;

λ = v/f

Where!

λ = wavelength of wave (m)

v = velocity or speed (m/s)

f = frequency of wave (Hz)

According to this question, one end of a rope is vibrated to produce a wave with a wavelength (λ) of 0.25 m and frequency (f) of 3.0 Hz.

Using λ = v/f

v = λ × f

v = 0.25 × 3

v = 0.75m/s.
