Waves with a frequency of 2.0 hertz are generated along a string The waves have a wavelength of 0.50 meters The speed of the waves along the string is?
v=f*wavelength v=2*.5 v=1 m/s
What is the distance between the center of a condensation and the center of an adjacent rarefaction is 65.23 cm If the frequency is 256.0 Hz how fast are these waves?
V=frequency x wavelength=(256.0 1/s)(3.00m)=768m/s
Wavelength is the distance between corresponding points on adjacent waves?
Wavelength is the distance between two sequential points of equal amplitude (same height) and phase of a wave. The waves we see and hear around us are of two forms. S waves are the sort of waves we would see on the surface of water. In these waves the medium (matter through which the waves travel) move back and forth orthogonally (90 degrees) to the direction of travel of the wave. In compression waves like sound waves (called P waves in seismology), the medium moves back and forth in the same direction as the wave travels. The wave length is the distance between two equivalent points in both the amount the medium is moving and the direction. In ocean waves this would be the back of one wave to the back of the next OR from the front of one wave to the front of the next OR from the top of one wave to the top of another
If a wave has a frequency of 5.0 waves per second and the distance between the peaks of the wave is 20 cm. What is the speed of the wave?
wave velocity = frequency in Hz x wavelength in meterSo frequency = 5 Hz and wavelength = distance between successive peaks = 20 cm = 20/100 mHence wave velocity = 5 * 20/100 = 1 m/s
Calculate the speed of water waves with a frequency of 14.6 Hz and a wavelength of 122.6 cm?
122.6cm/(1/14.6)s or 1789.96cm/s or 58.725722ft/s
Waves with a frequency of 2.0 hertz are generated along a string The waves have a wavelength of 0.50 meters The speed of the waves along the string is?
v=f*wavelength v=2*.5 v=1 m/s
What is the distance of an ocean wave trough to trough?
That will be wavelength you can figure out the distance by doing this wavelength (m) ---------------------- Wave period (s)=wave speed (m/s)
What happens to the distance in arrival times between P waves and S waves as the distance for the earthquake increases?
surface waves

What is the wavelength of sound waves produced by a guitar string vibrating at 440 Hz?
Wavelength = velocity of sound in the medium / frequency Here velocity is not given. Let it be 330 m/s So required wavelength = 330/440 = 3/4 = 0.75 m
How do you prove that speed equals wavelength times frequency?
Frequency is the number of waves per second, i.e. 20Hz is 20 waves per second. Wavelength is obviously the length of each wave i.e 20m So if there are 20 waves per second, the distance it travels is the length of the wave multiplied by the number of waves in one second. The distance travelled in one second by the wave above is therefore 20 * 20m wich is 400m. The distance travelled in 1 second is 400m. Therefore every second, the wave travels 400m and thus the speed is 400meters per second (400m/s).
What is the speed of water wave if it's frequency is equal to the distance between two successive waves is 1.5?
velocity(v)=frequency(f)*wavelength =1.5*1.5 ms^-1 =2.25m/s
An ocean wave has a wavelength of 10 meters these waves pass by a stationary boat every 2.0 seconds the speed of the waves is?
5m/s...
Why do light waves have a far shorter wavelength than sound waves?
sound waves travel faster slower than light waves In air, sound travels around 300m/s.
What is the wavelength of the radio waves for a station broadcasting at 830 kilohertz?
Wavelength = (speed of light) / (frequency) = (300,000,000 m/s) / (830,000) = 361.4 meters (rounded)
What wave can only pass along earth's surface?
S waves (surface waves)
