A wave travels at a speed of 242 m/s. If the distance between crests is 0.11

V

m, what is the frequency of the wave? Use / =

A. 0.00045 Hz

B. 190 Hz

c. 27 Hz

D. 2200 Hz

Respuesta :

The correct answer is D. 2200 Hz

Explanation:

The frequency of a wave is measured in hertz (Hz) and refers to how often a wave passes through a point during a specific time. This factor can be calculated if you divide the velocity of the wave by the wavelength (distance between crests) this means f (frequency) = v (velocity) / λ (wavelength).

f (frequency) =  242 m/s (velocity) / 0.11 (wavelegth)

f = 2200 Hz

According to this, the frequency of the wave, in this case, is 2200 Hz
