Question

A wave has a Wavelength of .5 meters and a Frequency of 100 Hz.
What is its velocity?

Answer 1

A wave has a Wavelength of .5 meters and a Frequency of 100 Hz.

What is its velocity?

Answer 2

The velocity wave has a Wavelength of 0.5 meters and a Frequency of 100 Hz is 50m/s.

Given:

A wave has a Wavelength of .5 meters and a Frequency of 100 Hz.

To Find:

The velocity.

Solution:

To find the velocity we will follow.the following steps:

As we know,

The relation between time, velocity, and wavelength is given by the formula:

$λν = velocity$

Here,

λ is the wavelength and ν is the frequency.

Now,

According to the question:

λ = 0.5 m

ν = 100 Hz

Now,

Putting values in the above formula we get,

$velocity = 0.5 \times 100 = 50m {s}^{ - 1}$

Henceforth, the velocity wave has a Wavelength of 0.5 meters and a Frequency of 100 Hz is 50m/s.
