Question

A wave is traveling with a speed of 500 m/sec and has a wavelength of 10 m. Determine its frequency.

λ= speed/frequency

frequency=speed/ λ

speed= λfrequency

Group of answer choices

500 Hz

5000 Hz

50 Hz

5 Hz

Answer 1

• C. 50 Hz

Explanation:

Formula to be used:

• frequency=speed/ λ

Substitute values:

• frequency= 500 m/sec / 10 m = 50 1/sec = 50 Hz

Option C is correct one
