Question

If a wave speed of a particle is 0315m/s and frequency is 50hz, calculate the wavelength

Answer 1

To calculate the wavelength of a wave, you can use the wave equation:

\[
\text{Wavelength} (\lambda) = \frac{\text{Wave Speed} (v)}{\text{Frequency} (f)}
\]

Given:
- Wave Speed \( v = 0.315 \, \text{m/s} \)
- Frequency \( f = 50 \, \text{Hz} \)

Now, plug the values into the formula:

\[
\lambda = \frac{0.315 \, \text{m/s}}{50 \, \text{Hz}}
\]

Calculating this gives:

\[
\lambda = \frac{0.315}{50} = 0.0063 \, \text{m}
\]

So, the wavelength is:

\[
\lambda = 0.0063 \, \text{m} \, \text{or} \, 6.3 \, \text{mm}
\]
