A wave has a wavelength of 150 m and a velocity of 600 m/s. using the equation in the question above, what would the frequency of the wave be?
The frequency of a wave can be calculated using the equation:
\[v = f \cdot \lambda\]
where:
- \(v\) is the velocity of the wave (600 m/s)
- \(f\) is the frequency of the wave (in Hz)
- \(\lambda\) is the wavelength of the wave (150 m)
We can rearrange the equation to solve for \(f\):
\[f = \frac{v}{\lambda}\]
\[f = \frac{600 \text{ m/s}}{150 \text{ m}}\]
\[f = 4 \text{ Hz}\]
Therefore, the frequency of the wave is 4 Hz.
