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

1 answer

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:

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