Question

8. The separation between two consecutive crests
in a transverse wave is 100 m. If wave velocity is
20 m s find the frequency of wave. ​

Answer 1

Answer:

0.2 Hz

Step-by-step explanation:

Seperation between 2 consecutive crests (wavelength) = 100 m (given)

Wave velocity = 20 m/s (given)

To find the frequency of the wave,

V = fλ     (Velocity = Frequency * Wavelength)

20 = 100f

f = 20/100 = 0.2 Hz

Hence, the frequency of the wave is 0.2 hertz.
