Question

When a particular wire is vibrating with a frequency of 4.4 Hz, a transverse wave of wave length 79.2 cm is produced. Determine the speed of wave pulses along the wire. Answer in units of m/s.

Answer 1

We will have that the speed of the wave will be:

$v=(4.4Hz)(0.79m)\Rightarrow v=3.476m/s$

So, the velocity of the wave is 3.476 m/s.
