Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

A wave has a frequency of 50 Hz and a wavelength of 3 m. What is its speed?
  • Step 1: Identify the frequency of the wave, which is given as 50 Hz.
  • Step 2: Identify the wavelength of the wave, which is given as 3 m.
  • Step 3: Use the formula for wave speed, which is Speed (v) = Frequency (f) × Wavelength (λ).
  • Step 4: Substitute the values into the formula: v = 50 Hz × 3 m.
  • Step 5: Calculate the speed: 50 × 3 = 150 m/s.
  • Wave Speed Calculation – The speed of a wave can be calculated using the formula v = f × λ, where v is speed, f is frequency, and λ is wavelength.
