A wave travels with a speed of 20 m/s and has a wavelength of 0.800 m. what is the period of the wave?
a. 250 ms
b. 40 ms
c. 25 ms
d. 4 ms

Respuesta :

Answer:

b. 40 ms

Explanation:

A wave travels at a speed of 20 m/s

the wavelength is 0.800 m

Required

the period

The expression for the velocity of a wave is given as

[tex]v=f \lambda\\\\f= v/ \lambda\\[/tex]

substituting our data

[tex]f= 20/0.8\\\\f=25Hz[/tex]

But T=1/f

T=1/25

T=0.04s

T=40ms
