Verified Answer :

Note:

v = fλ

6 m/s = f 12m

f = 6/12

f = 0.50 s⁻¹

f = 0.50 Hertz.

Note this was solved just for solving of it, infrared light is an electromagnetic wave and its speed cannot be 6m/s.

All electromagnetic wave infrared light inclusive would have a speed of ≈ 3
10⁸ m/s.

Answer: The frequency of the wave is 0.5 Hz

Explanation:

Wave speed is defined as the product of its wavelength and frequency.

Mathematically,

\(\text{Wave speed}=\lambda\times u\)

where,

Wave speed of the wave = 6 m/s

\(\lambda\) = wavelength of the wave = 12 m

\(u\) = frequency of the wave

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\(6m/s=12m\times u\\\\ u=\frac{6m/s}{12m}=0.5s^{-1}=0.5Hz\)

Hence, the frequency of the wave is 0.5 Hz
