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
What is the frequency of a wave if it has a wavelength of 2 m and a wave speed of 20 meters per second?
Frequency = (speed)/(wavelength) = 20/2 = 10 Hz
If a wave has amplitude of 2 meters a wavelength of 2 meters and a frequency of 10 Hz and a period of 1 second then at what speed is the wave moving?
speed = distance over time = wavelength times frequency = 2 m times 10 hz = 20 m hz = 20 meters per second.
A wave with a frequency of 0.5 Hz and a speed of 10 has a wavelength of?
Wavelength = (speed) divided by (frequency) = 10/0.5 = 20
What is the period of a wave with a wave speed of 5 and a wavelenth of 20?
The period is 4 [insert units here]. To get to this answer you use the equation v= λ*ƒ which basically means velocity is equal to lambda (wavelength) times frequency. Next you insert the speed where velocity is then you insert the wavelength and try to find the frequency. Once you get the frequency which should be 1/4 Hz then you use the proportion: period ~ 1/frequency and then you know that the period is 4.
What is the period of a wave traviling 5 ms it its wavelength is 20 m?
If a wave is traveling at 5 meters per second (assuming that is what the question meant) and its wavelength is 20 meters, consider standing beside the wave and watching it pass. As the wave is 20 meters long and it is moving at 5 meters per second, it will take 4 seconds for the full cycle of the wave to pass an observer. That means its frequency is one cycle per 4 seconds. And - surprise! - that's the period of the wave. The period of the wave is 4 seconds.
What is the speed of a wave that has a wavelength 20 cm and a period of 0.5 s?
40 Hz
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
What is the velocity of a wave that has a frequency of 50Hz and a wavelength of 20 meters?
Wave speed = (frequency) x (wavelength) = (50) x (20) = 1,000 meters.
What is the frequency of a wave if it has a wavelength of 2 m and a wave speed of 20 meters per second?
Frequency = (speed)/(wavelength) = 20/2 = 10 Hz
What is the frequencey of a wave with the speed of 10 and wavelength 20?
Frequency = (speed)/(wavelength) = 10/20 = 1/2
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
What is the speed of a wave that has a wavelength of 10 m and a frequency of 34 hz?
340 m/s
What is the wavelength in a sound wave?
To find the wavelength, the following formula applies: λ = ν / f That in common words is: Wavelength = Wave's Speed / Wave's Frequency So, Wavelength of sound wave = Speed of sound wave / Frequency of sound wave Now, Speed of sound wave is 343 m/s, so Wavelength of sound wave = 343 m/s / Frequency of sound wave Frequency of sound waves audible to a human ear range between 20 Hz to 20 kHz. So filling the desired sound frequency in the equation above you get the desired wavelength of that sound wave.
What is the speed of a wave that has a wavelength of 20 cm and a period of 0.5 s?
The speed of a wave is equal to the product of wavelength x frequency. Just convert everything to standard units (wavelength to meters, frequency to hertz), multiply both, and you'll get the result, also in standard units (meters / second).
If a wave has amplitude of 2 meters a wavelength of 2 meters and a frequency of 10 Hz and a period of 1 second then at what speed is the wave moving?
speed = distance over time = wavelength times frequency = 2 m times 10 hz = 20 m hz = 20 meters per second.
A wave with height of 10 feet and a wavelength of 20 feet has a wave based of?
10 feet
