The speed of a sound wave is 32 m/sec. If the wavelength of the wave is 0.6 meters, what is the frequency of the wave?

Sagot :

The frequency of the wave is 53.33 Hz

Explanation:

[tex]\\[/tex]

Given:

s = 32 m/s

λ = 0.6 m

[tex]\\[/tex]

Required:

Frequency

[tex]\\[/tex]

Equation:

[tex]λ\:=\:\frac{s}{f}[/tex]

where: s - speed of wave, m/s

λ - wavelength, m

f - frequency, Hz

[tex]\\[/tex]

Solution:

Solve for frequency

[tex]λ\:=\:\frac{s}{f}[/tex]

[tex](f)λ\:=\:s[/tex]

[tex]f\:=\:\frac{s}{λ}[/tex]

[tex]f\:=\:\frac{32\:m/s}{0.6\:m}[/tex]

[tex]f\:=\:53.33\:Hz[/tex]

[tex]\\[/tex]

Final answer:

The frequency of the wave is 53.33 Hz
