A water wave has a speed of 23.0 meters/second. If the wave’s frequency is 0.0680 hertz, what is the wavelength?
A)310 meters
B)338 meters
C)120 meters
D)416 meters

Respuesta :

     Using the Fundamental Equation of Wave, we have:

[tex]v=\lambda f \\ \lambda= \frac{23}{0.068} \\ \boxed {\lambda \approx 338m}[/tex]

Letter B

Answer: Option (B) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Given data is as follows.

Frequency = 0.0680 hertz = 0.0680 per second

Speed or velocity = 23.0 m/s

We can calculate the wavelength with the help of formula as follows.

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

                            [tex]\lambda = \frac{v}{f}[/tex]

                                    = [tex]\frac{23.0 m/s}{0.0680 s^{-1}}[/tex]

                                    = 338.23 meters

or,                                 = 338 meters (approx)

Thus, we can conclude that wavelength is 338 meters (approx).
