Question

The distance between two successive maximaof

a transverse wave is 1.70 m. Eightcrests, or maxima, pass a given
point along the direction of travelevery 11.0 s. Calculate the
wavespeed.

Answer 1

v = 1.224 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

given,

distance between the two successive maxima = 1.70 m

number of crest = 8

time = 11 s

frequency is equal to number of cycle per secod

`f = (8)/(11)`

`f = 0.72\ Hz`

velocity of wave

v = f x λ

v = 0.72 x 1.70

v = 1.224 m/s

Hence, the wave speed is equal to v = 1.224 m/s
