Jake calculates that the frequency of a wave is 230 hertz, and its wave is moving at 460 m/s. What is the wavelength of the wave?
to find the wavelength of a wave you have to divide the speed by the frequency..it will equal 2 m...460/230=2
V=F Ω
wave speed=frequency*wavelength
Explanation:
The relation between frequency, wavelength, and velocity is as follows.
\(f = \frac{v}{\lambda}\)
where, f = frequency
v = velocity
\(\lambda\) = wavelength
It is given that frequency of the wave is 230 hertz (or 230 per second) and velocity of wave is 460 m/s. Therefore, calculate the wavelength as follows.
\(f = \frac{v}{}\)
or, \(\lambda = \frac{v}{f}\)
= \(\frac{460 m/s}{230s^{-1}}\)
= 2 m
Therefore, we can conclude that the wavelength of the wave is 2 m.
