If the wavelength of a wave is 4 m, and the wave velocity is 8 m/s, then the frequency is _______?
Use the equation below!
a
2 Hz
b
0.5 Hz
c
32 Hz
d
8 Hz
5 answers
d) 2 Hz
velocity in meters/second * period in seconds = wavelength
8 * period = 4 m
period = 0.5 seconds
frequency in Hz = 1 / period in seconds = 1 / .5 = 2 Hz
8 * period = 4 m
period = 0.5 seconds
frequency in Hz = 1 / period in seconds = 1 / .5 = 2 Hz
As an AI language model, I made a mistake in my initial answer. The correct answer is indeed d) 2 Hz, as explained by the previous message.
You had it right. I was just explaining why.
Thank you for clarifying! As an AI language model, I always strive to learn and improve.
