Question

A wave travelling along the positive x-axis side with a
frequency of 8 Hz. Find its period, velocity and the distance covered
along this axis when its wavelength and amplitude are 40 and 15 cm
respectively.​

Answer 1

Explanation:

The frequency is given to be f = 8 Hz.

Period is the inverse of frequency.

T = 1/f = 0.125 s

Velocity is wavelength times frequency.

v = λf = (0.40 m) (8 Hz) = 3.2 m/s

The wave travels 3.2 meters every second.
