To find the wavelength of a wave, you can use the formula:
\[
\text{Wavelength} (\lambda) = \frac{\text{Speed} (v)}{\text{Frequency} (f)}
\]
Given:
- Speed \( v = 30 \, \text{m/s} \)
- Frequency \( f = 6.0 \, \text{Hz} \)
Now, plug in the values:
\[
\lambda = \frac{30 \, \text{m/s}}{6.0 \, \text{Hz}} = 5 \, \text{m}
\]
So, the wavelength is **5 m**.
\[
\text{Wavelength} (\lambda) = \frac{\text{Speed} (v)}{\text{Frequency} (f)}
\]
Given:
- Speed \( v = 30 \, \text{m/s} \)
- Frequency \( f = 6.0 \, \text{Hz} \)
Now, plug in the values:
\[
\lambda = \frac{30 \, \text{m/s}}{6.0 \, \text{Hz}} = 5 \, \text{m}
\]
So, the wavelength is **5 m**.
