Question

a seismic wave has a measured wavelength of 0.50 km. its frequency is 27 hz. what is the velocity of the wave?

Answer 1

Answer:V=13500m/s

As

V=fλ

Where v is velocity, f is frequency and λ is the wavelength

f=27hz or 27/s

λ=0.50km=0.50*1000m=500m

Putting given values in the formula

V=(27/s)*(500m)

V=13500m/sss
