Question

A wave has a frequency of 243 Hz has a wavelength of 1.33 m. What is the velocity of the wave?

Group of answer choices

182.71 m/s

161.50 m/s

323.19 m/s

0.005 m/s

Answer 1

To find the velocity of a wave, you can use the formula:

\[ \text{Velocity} (v) = \text{Frequency} (f) \times \text{Wavelength} (\lambda) \]

In this case, you have:

- Frequency (f) = 243 Hz
- Wavelength (λ) = 1.33 m

Now, substitute the values into the formula:

\[ v = 243 \, \text{Hz} \times 1.33 \, \text{m} \]

Calculating this gives:

\[ v = 323.19 \, \text{m/s} \]

Therefore, the velocity of the wave is **323.19 m/s**. The correct answer from the choices provided is:

**323.19 m/s**.
