Question
A wave has a speed of 340m/s and a period of 0.28ms. what's the wavelength?
so I worked this and I got 95.2m but the answer to d question says 0.095m.
period(T) = 1/F (since F = 1/T)
therefore, F = 1/0.28 = 3.5714
wavelength = velocity/frequency
w = 340/3.5714 = 95.2m (Isn't dis correct?)

You multiplied by 0.28s, but the period is 0.28 ms.

convert your milliseconds 0.28 into seconds first then do as you done. Converting will give you .28x10^-3

A wave on a string has a speed of 14 m/s and a period of 0.6 s.

Can any solve this question.
A uniform sinusoidal wave of wavelengths 0.871cm travel along a string. The time for a particular point to reach the maximum point or peak to the immediate zero point is 0.170s
1) what is the period?
2) what is the speed of the wave?
