The formula for speed is velocity= wavelength x frequency
If the speed of sound in water is 1430m/s you would replace that as the velocity.
1430= wavelength x frequency
Frequency is 286 Hz, therefore you would replace that for the frequency in the equation.
1430= wavelength x 286
Now you would divide 1430 by 236, in order to get the wavelength alone.
1430/286= wavelength.
So the wavelength is 5 m

The speed of sound in water is 1430 meters per second.Find the wavelength of a sound with a frequency of 286 Hz traveling through the water?
Wavelength is found via WL = v/f. WL = 1430/286 = 5m
Could wavelength 5 m and frequency 1000 Hz be an electromagnetic wave traveling in a vacuum?
Speed = (wavelength) times (frequency) = (5 meters) x (1,000 per second) = 5,000 meters per second.This could not be an electromagnetic wave traveling in a vacuum.The speed of E&M in vacuum is roughly 300,000,000 meters per second.This unknown disturbance in the force is too slow by a factor of 60,000 !
When a 440 Hz sound is sent through steel a wWhat is the speed of a sound wave that has a wavelength of 1.2 meters and a frequency of 250 Hz?
When a 440 Hz sound is sent through steel, a wavelength of 11.6 meters is measured. What is the velocity of the sound through steel
How are the energy and the frequency of an electromagnetic wave related?
For any point on the electromagnetic spectrum, the product of(wavelength) multiplied by (frequency) is 299,792,458 meters per second.That's the speed of the wave.
What is the relationship between wavelength and frequencyand the speed of light?
Light with a lower frequency will have a longer wavelength. Frequency and wavelength are inversely proportional to each other (i.e. as one increases, the other decreases and vice-a-versa). The product of frequency and wavelength is the speed of light.
The speed of sound in water is 1430 meters per second Find the wavelength of a sound with a frequency of 286 Hz traveling through the water?
5 meters
What is the frequency of a wave with a wavelength of 102 M traveling at a speed of 51 meters per second?
Frequency = (speed) / (wavelength) = (51/102) = 0.5 Hz
A wave traveling at a speed of 90 meters per second with a frequency of 60 Hz would have a wavelength of?
1.5 meters.
How do you convert frequency from meters to megahertz?
"Meters" is not frequency. It's wavelength. If you know the wavelength in meters, divide 300 by it, and the result is the frequency in MHz. If you know the frequency in MHz, divide 300 by it, and the result is the wavelength in meters.
What is the wavelength of a sound made by a violin string that has a frequency of 640 Hz if the sound is traveling at 350 meters per second?
Wavelength = speed/frequency = 350/640 = 54.7 centimeters (rounded)
A frequency of 1240 kHz What is the wavelength in meters?
Wavelength = (speed) / (frequency) =(299,792,458) / (1,240,000) = 241.768 meters
The speed of sound in water is 1430 meters per second.Find the wavelength of a sound with a frequency of 286 Hz traveling through the water?
Wavelength is found via WL = v/f. WL = 1430/286 = 5m
What is the frequency of a wave that has a wavelength of 10 meters and is traveling at 7 meter per second?
Frequency here would be.....,Frequency = velocity/wavelengthFrequency = 7(m/s)/10 meters= 0.7 s -1=======
What is the wavelength of a wave traveling at 1000 ms with a frequency of 50 Hz?
wavelength = speed / frequency Wavelength should be expressed in meters (m), speed in meters per second (m/s), and frequency in hertz (Hz). I assume by "ms" in the question you actually mean "m/s" since the former is "milliseconds" (a measure of time) and the later is "meters per second" (a measure of speed). 1000 / 50 = 20 meters
If Two waves are traveling in the same medium with a speed of 340ms What is the difference in frequency of the waves if the one has a wavelength fo 5m and the other has a wavelength of 0.2m?
For a wavelengt lambda in air with the speed of sound of c = 340 meters per second the frequency f: f = c / lambda. A wavelength of 5 meters equals a frequency of 68 Hz. A wavelength of 0.2 meters equals a frequency of 1700 Hz. There is a useful calculator for converting wavelength to frequency and vice versa. Scroll down to related links and look at "Acoustic waves or sound waves in air".
What is the wavelength in feet of a 20 KHz sound wave traveling at 340 meters per second?
Wavelength = (speed) / (frequency) = (340) / (20,000) = 0.017 meter = 1.7 centimeter
A sound wave traveling at a speed of 340.0 meters per second has a wavelength of 1.25 what is the frequency?
Answer: frequency = 272 Hz. Given the wave velocity (speed of sound) and wavelength, find the frequency of the wave. Velocity = 340.0 m/s, Wavelength = 1.25 m. Formulas: Velocity = wavelength * frequency. Frequency = velocity / wavelength. Calculation: Frequency = (340.0 m/s) / (1.25 m) = 272 Hz. (Where Hertz = cycles / second.)
