Marco is conducting an experiment. He knows the wave that he is working with has a wavelength of 32. 4 cm. If he measures the frequency as 3 hertz, which statement about the wave is accurate? The wave has traveled 32. 4 cm in 3 seconds. The wave has traveled 32. 4 cm in 9 seconds. The wave has traveled 97. 2 cm in 3 seconds. The wave has traveled 97. 2 cm in 1 second.

Respuesta :

The true statement about the wave is that, the wave has traveled 97. 2 cm in 1 second.

In Physics, we define a wave as a disturbance along a medium that transfers energy. The wavelength of a wave is the distance covered by the wave while the frequency of the wave is the number of cycles of the wave completed per second.

The period of the wave is the inverse of the frequency of the wave. It is defined as the time taken for the wave to complete a cycle and it is measured in seconds.

The wave formula is given as;

v = λf

v = velocity of the wave (distance traveled by the wave in one second)

λ = wavelength of the wave

f = frequency of the wave

So;

λ = 32.4 cm

f =  3 hertz

v = 32.4 cm × 3 hertz

v = 97. 2 cms-1

Hence, the true statement about the wave is that, the wave has traveled 97. 2 cm in 1 second.
