The velocity of waves in a ripple tank is 10 centimeters per second, and standing waves are produced with nodes spaced 3.0 centimeters apart. What is the frequency of the wave generator?


f = _____ Hz



1.7

60.

Verified Answer :

node spacing = half of wavelength = 3 cm
velocity = 10 cm/s = freq * wavelength
hench freq = 10/6 = 5/3 = 1.7 hz

Here, Node spacing = half of wavelength
= 10 /3 1/2
 
frequency * wavelength
 = 10/6 = 5/3 = 1.7 Hz

In short, Your Answer would be Option A) 1.7 Hz

Hope this helps!
