Two similar waves X and Y travel through the same medium. Wave X has a frequency of 200 hertz and a
wavelength of 35 meters. Wave Y has a frequency of 700 hertz. What is the wavelength for wave Y? (1 poir
A)10 meters
B)122.5 meters
C) 4,900,000 meters
D)0.1 meter
The speed of a wave can be calculated using the formula v = f λ, where v is the speed of the wave, f is the frequency, and λ is the wavelength. Since both waves are traveling through the same medium, they have the same speed.
For wave X, v = 200 hertz * 35 meters = 7000 meters/hertz.
Since wave Y has a frequency of 700 hertz, we can use the speed and frequency to calculate the wavelength for wave Y:
λ = v/f
= 7000 meters/hertz / 700 hertz
= 10 meters
Therefore, the wavelength for wave Y is 10 meters.
A) 10 meters.
