What is the wavelenght if the distance covered by a wave in 14 succesive trough is 25cm
The wavelength is the distance between troughs, which would be
25/14 = 1.786 cm
To find the wavelength, we need to know two quantities: the distance covered by a wave and the number of complete cycles or troughs it has passed through.
In this case, we know that the distance covered by 14 successive troughs is 25 cm.
To calculate the wavelength, we can divide the total distance by the number of troughs. In this case, we divide 25 cm by 14 troughs:
Wavelength = Distance / Number of Troughs
Wavelength = 25 cm / 14
To get the numerical value of the wavelength, we divide 25 cm by 14:
Wavelength ≈ 1.79 cm
So, the wavelength of the wave is approximately 1.79 cm.
