The given graph shows the displacement versus time relation for a disturbance travelling with velocity of 1500 ms−1 . Calculate the wavelength of the disturbance
3 mm
Given,
Velocity of wave, V = 1500 ms−1
From the graph,
Time period, T=2×10−6s (Time for one complete cycle)
Wavelength, λ=V×T
λ=1500×2×10−6
λ=3×10−3 m=3 mm
