Distance between crest and next trough in a transverse wave is 10 cm If 50 such crest and trough are produced by a source in 0.5 sec Find wavelength and velocity of wave?

I would assume the wavelength would be twice the crest to trough distance, or 20 cm.
And the velocity would be 50 * 20 / 0.5 = 2 m/sec

How was velocity of a wave derived?
The velocity=distance/time ,, Suppose that the distance covered is one complete vibration therefore the distance is called wavelength and the time is called periodic time then velocity=wavelength/periodic time also frequency= 1/periodic time therefore the velocity=wavelength*frequency
How does one measure the wavelength of a longitudinal wave?
Okay, it is very simple. The formula is: the velocity is equal to the product of the frequency and wavelength. v= fλ the lambda is the wavelength. Using basic arithmetic, you can rearrange the equation to : λ= v/f There you go. That's how to find the wavelength
What is the frequency of the transverse waves?
The frequency of trransverse wavese is f=V/w, the velocity divided by the wavelength.
What is the distance from one wave crest to the next?
Wavelength, and it = velocity/frequency.
If the frequency is doubled then for waves what would be the wavelength and vlocity?
Frequency = Velocity divided by wavelength. So if frequency is doubled that means velocity is doubled but the wavelength is halved. You can see this by keeping wavelength a constant : If Frequency =1 and Wavelength= 1 1= Velocity/1 Velocity=1 If Frequency =2 and Wavelength= 1 2= Velocity/1 Velocity =2 OR keeping Velocity constant: If Frequency =1 and Velocity= 1 1= 1/Wavelength Wavelength =1 If Frequency =2 and Velocity= 1 2= 1/Wavelength Wavelength=1/2
Can you find volocity if you have wavelength and frequency?
Wavelength = Velocity / Frequency So, Velocity = Wavelength * Frequency
How do wavelength and periods relate?
Wavelength*Frequency = Velocity of the wave. or Wavelength/Period = Velocity of the wave.
What is the frequency of a wave with the velocity of 100ms and a wavelength of 20m?
velocity = frequency × wavelength frequency = velocity / wavelength f= 100 /20 f= 5 Hz
Which physical quantity is measured by the area under velocity time graph?
The distance covered in the direction of motion or the opposite direction. Distance covered in the transverse direction is not included.
Which equatian shows how frequency is related to velocity and wavelength apex?
C the distance between the top or bottom of a wave
The speed of seismic waves depend on the?
as v=f/\(lemda), it shows that velocity dependx on the frequency of wave i.e numbr of wavs produced in one second and wavelength(lemda) which is the distance between two consecutive crests or troughs in transverse waves nd in longitudnal waves it is distance betwen two consecutive compressions or rarefactions.
How does velocity vary with wavelength if frequency is the same?
Velocity equals frequency times wavelength. If frequency is constant, velocity is proportional to wavelength; one increases at the same rate as the other.
