Question

A string is waved up and down to create a wave pattern with a wavelength of 0.5 m. If the waves are generated with a frequency of 2 Hz, what is the speed of the wave that travels through the string to the other end? The speed of the wave is __ m/s.

Answer 1

1m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Speed of a wave is expressed as;

Speed = frequency × wavelength

Given

Frequency = 2Hz

Wavelength = 0.5m

Required

Speed of the wave

Substitute

Speed = 2×0.5m

Speed = 1.0m/s

Hence the speed is 1.0m/s
