A mosquito is making a sound with its wings at an average rate of 500 vibrations in 10 seconds. The frequency of vibration is ___ Hz.

Open in App

Solution

Frequency is the number of oscillations/vibrations completed in 1 second.

The mosquito produces 500 vibrations in 10 seconds.

Thus, vibrations completed in 1 second
$= \frac{500}{10} = 50$ per second

Thus, the frequency of vibration is 50 Hz.
