Question

A wave traveling at a speed of 0.09 meters per second has a frequency of 3Hz. What is its wavelength? (Formula: wavespeed = wavelength x frequency)

0.01m
0.03m
0.09m
0.27m

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct option is (b) i.e. 0.03 m.

Explanation:

We have,

Speed of a wave is 0.09 m/s and the frequency of a wave is 3 Hz.

It is required to find the wavelength of a wave.

The speed of a wave in terms of wavelength and frequency is given by :

$v=f\lambda\\\\\lambda=\dfrac{v}{f}\\\\\lambda=\dfrac{0.09}{3} \\\\\lambda=0.03\ m$

So, the wavelength of a wave is 0.03 m.
