Question

if a wave has a wavelength of 5 meters and a frequency of 10hz whats the wave speed

Answer 1

Answer:

Wave speed = 50 m$s^{-1}$

Explanation:

Given

Wavelength = 5 m

Frequency = 10 Hz = 10 $s^{-1}$

wave speed = ?

We know that all waves have same relationship among wavelength λ, frequency f and speed v , which is given by

   v = fλ

Therefore wave speed = 10 $s^{-1}$ x 5 m = 50 m$s^{-1}$
