A sinusoidal traveling wave is generated on a string by an oscillating source that completes 116 cycles per minute. What is the wavelength of the wave if individual crests are observed to travel 11.0 m in 1.50 min?

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]\lambda =6.32\ cm[/tex]

Explanation:

given,

number of cycle complete (f) = 116 cycles per minute

wavelength observed at 11 m in 1.5 m.

[tex]v = \dfrac{distance}{time}[/tex]

[tex]v = \dfrac{11}{1.5}[/tex]

v = 7.33 m/s

[tex]\lambda = \dfrac{v}{f}[/tex]

[tex]\lambda = \dfrac{7.33}{116}[/tex]

[tex]\lambda =0.0632\ m[/tex]

[tex]\lambda =6.32\ cm[/tex]

The wavelength of the wave is equal to [tex]\lambda =6.32\ cm[/tex]
