A wave of frequency 500 Hz travels between X and Y and travel a distance of 600 m in 2 sec between X and Y . How many wavelength are there in distance XY

Open in App

Solution

Dear Student,

wave speed = 600/2 = 300 m/s

wave speed = frequency × wavelength

300 = 500 × wavelength

hence wavelength = 3/5 m

number of wavelengths between X and Y = 600/(3/5) = 1000
