Calculate the frequency of a water wvae which has a wavelength of 1.5m and travels a distance of 10m in 5.0 seconds

Respuesta :

Answer:

  • 1.33 Hz

Explanation:

The frequency formula in terms of wavelength and wave speed is given as

[tex] \sf f = \dfrac{\nu}{\lambda}[/tex]

where,

  • [tex]\nu[/tex] is the wave speed in m/s, and
  • λ is the wavelength of the wave in m

Wave speed can be calculated by,

⇒️ Speed = distance/time

⇒️ speed = 10 m/5 seconds

⇒️ speed = 2 m/s

So, the speed of the wave is 2 m/s

Now,

⇒️ [tex]\sf f = \dfrac{\nu}{\lambda}[/tex]

⇒️ [tex]\sf f = \dfrac{2 }{1.5}[/tex]

⇒️ [tex]\sf f = 1.33 \ Hz [/tex]

Therefore, the frequency of the water wave is 1.33 Hz
