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
8 Hz
b
2 Hz
c
0.5 Hz
d
32 Hz
The correct answer is d) 32 Hz.
We can use the equation: v = λf, where v is the wave velocity, λ is the wavelength and f is the frequency.
Plugging in the values given, we get:
8 m/s = 4 m x f
Solving for f, we get:
f = 8 m/s ÷ 4 m
f = 2 Hz x 16
f = 32 Hz.
