A traveling wave has wavelength 0.50 m, speed 20 m/s. Find the wave frequency.

Verified Answer :

\(f=\frac{v}{\lambda}\) where \(f\) is frequency, \(v\) is speed and \(\lambda\) is wavelength. So f=20/0.5=40. The unit is 1/s or Hz.

Frequency = (speed) / (wavelength) = 20 / 0.5 = 40 per second = 40 Hz.
