Speed=0.0005m/s wavelength=5micrometers then what will be the frequency |
|
Answer» Answer: To calculate the speed of a wave, simply multiply its WAVELENGTH and its FREQUENCY (given that you are provided with the two VARIABLES). This makes SENSE, since the unit for speed (m/s) MATCHES that of the product of wavelength (m) and frequency (Hz). Keep in mind that one Hz is equivalent to one inverse second ( s − 1 or 1 s ). If you multiply m (the unit for wavelength) with 1 s (the unit for frequency), you will get m/s, the unit for speed. Now multiply! .5 m * 50 Hz = 25 m/s 25 m/s is your final answer! |
