Ms. Lawson is making a video about waves. In the video she wiggled a string to create a transverse wave. The wave had a wavelength of 2.0 m and speed of 1.5 m/s. What was the frequency of the wave?

Respuesta :

Answer: The frequency of the wave is [tex]0.75s^{-1}[/tex]

Explanation:

The relationship between wavelength and frequency of the wave follows the equation:

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

where,

[tex]\nu[/tex] = frequency of the wave  = ?

c = speed of the wave = [tex]1.5m/s[/tex]

[tex]\lambda [/tex] = wavelength of the wave  = [tex]2.0m[/tex]

Putting in the values we get:

[tex]\nu=\frac{1.5m/s}{2.0m}=0.75s^{-1}[/tex]

Thus the frequency of the wave is [tex]0.75s^{-1}[/tex]
