Question

3 m/s
4 m
Which of the following is the frequency of the wave?
a) 0.75 Hz
b) 1.33 Hz
C) 1.5 Hz
d) 6.0 Hz

Answer 1

Answer:

0.75Hz

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Speed of the wave = 3m/s

Wavelength  = 4m

Unknown:

Frequency of the wave  = ?

Solution:

The speed of a wave is given by the expression below:

     Speed  = frequency x wavelength

  Frequency  = $\frac{Speed }{Wavelength}$   = $\frac{3}{4}$    = 0.75Hz
