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?
0.1 meter
10 meters
4,900,000 meters
122.5 meters
The formula to calculate the wavelength of a wave is:
Wavelength = Speed of the wave / Frequency
Given that the speed of the wave is constant in the same medium, we can calculate the wavelength of wave Y using the frequency provided:
Wavelength of Y = Speed / Frequency of Y
Wavelength of Y = 35 m/s / 700 Hz
Wavelength of Y = 0.05 meters
Therefore, the wavelength of wave Y is 0.05 meters. So, none of the given options are correct.
