A wave has a wavelength of 45 meters and a period of 9.0 seconds. What is the frequency of the wave?

Verified Answer :

frequency is the reciprocal of period

f = 1/9 = 0.11 Hz

Answer: The correct answer is 0.11 Hz.

Explanation:

The relation between frequency of the wave and time period is as follows;

\(f=\frac{1}{T}\)

Here, f is the frequency of the wave and T is the time period.

Here, the frequency is inversely proportional to the time period.

It is given in the problem that a wave has a wavelength of 45 meters and a period of 9.0 seconds.

Calculate the frequency of the wave.

\(f=\frac{1}{T}\)

Put T= 9 s.

\(f=\frac{1}{9}\)

f=0.11 Hz

Therefore, the frequency of the wave is 0.11 Hz.
