A wave has a frequency of 15,500 Hz and a wavelength of 0.20 m. What is the
speed of the wave? Use the equation v=f>

Respuesta :

Answer:

3100 m/s

Explanation:

The relationship between frequency and wavelength of a wave is given by the wave equation:

[tex]v=f\lambda[/tex]

where

v is the speed of the wave

f is its frequency

[tex]\lambda[/tex] is the wavelength

For the wave in this problem,

f = 15,500 Hz

[tex]\lambda=0.20 m[/tex]

Therefore, the wave speed is

[tex]v=(15500)(0.20)=3100 m/s[/tex]
