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?
  • Step 1: Identify the speed of the wave (v). In this case, it is 300 m/s.
  • Step 2: Identify the frequency of the wave (f). In this case, it is 150 Hz.
  • Step 3: Use the formula for wavelength (λ), which is λ = v / f.
  • Step 4: Substitute the values into the formula: λ = 300 m/s / 150 Hz.
  • Step 5: Calculate the result: 300 divided by 150 equals 2.
  • Step 6: Conclude that the wavelength (λ) is 2 meters.
  • Wave Properties – Understanding the relationship between wave speed, frequency, and wavelength, which is given by the formula λ = v/f.
