The diagram below illustrates a mode of vibration of a wire of length 125 cm. The speed of the waves along the wire is 120 ms-1. Use the diagram to answer questions 2 and 3.
Determine the frequency of the waves
- A. 240Hz
- B. 24Hz
- C. 192Hz
- D. 286Hz
Correct Answer: A. 240Hz
Explanation
v = 120m/s, λ = 0.50m, f = ?
v = fλ
f = \(\frac{v}{λ}\) = \(\frac{120}{0.50}\)
Therefore, = 240Hz.
