When a particular wire is vibrating with a frequency of 4.00 Hz, a transverse wave of wavelength 60.0 cm is produced. Determine the speed of waves along the wire.

Respuesta :

Answer : The speed of waves along the wire is, 1.2 m/s

Explanation :

Formula used :

[tex]\nu=\frac{c}{\lambda}[/tex]

where,

[tex]\nu[/tex] = frequency = [tex]4.00Hz=4.00s^{-1}[/tex]

[tex]\lambda[/tex] = wavelength = [tex]30.0cm=0.3m[/tex]

c = speed of wave = ?

Now put all the given value in the above formula, we get the speed of waves along the wire.

[tex]4.00s^{-1}=\frac{c}{0.3m}[/tex]

[tex]c=1.2m/s[/tex]

Thus, the speed of waves along the wire is, 1.2 m/s
