Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

A wave travels through a medium with a speed of 300 m/s and has a frequency of 150 Hz. What is the wavelength of the wave?
  • Step 1: Identify the speed of the wave (v), which is given as 300 m/s.
  • Step 2: Identify the frequency of the wave (f), which is given as 150 Hz.
  • Step 3: Use the formula for wave speed, which is v = f * λ, where λ is the wavelength.
  • Step 4: Rearrange the formula to solve for wavelength (λ): λ = v / f.
  • Step 5: Substitute the values into the formula: λ = 300 m/s / 150 Hz.
  • Step 6: Calculate the wavelength: λ = 2 m.
