Awave travels at speed 4.0 m/s. its wavelength is 22 cm. what is the frequency of the wave? a) 28 s^-1 b) 11 s^-1 c) 18 s^-1 d) 23 s^-1

Given data:

     wave length (λ) = 22 cm = 0.22 m,

     speed of wave length(v) = 4 m/s ,  

determine the frequency (f)  = ?

 We know that ,

          wave length and frequency of light are closely related. The higher the frequency, shorter is the wavelength and vice-versa.

          Mathematically, λ = v/f             (i)

                where,  λ = wave length (m)

                             v = speed of wave length (m/s)

                              f = frequency (Hz)

                From the equation (i) ,

                                    frequency (f) = v/λ

                                                           = 4 / 0.22

                                                          = 18.18 /second

frequency (f) of the wave is 18 /sec  or (18 Hz)

Note: frequency is defined as "number of occurrences per unit time", measured in Hz.

c)

Explanation:

The information we have is:

Speed:

wavelength: we need to convert this quantity to meters:

, so

------------------------------------------------

We need to find the frequency of the wave, for that we use the formula:

where is the frequency.

In tha last equation we clear for

and we substitute the known values:

the answer is c)

f=gm1m2/d^2 it d

f is force g is gravitaiton constant, m1 is mass of first object, m2 is mass of second object. d is distance between two object
