A 60-vibration-per-second wave travels 30 meters in 1 second. Its frequency is
A) 60 hertz and it travels at 30 m/s.
B) 1800 hertz and it travels at 2 m/s.
C) 30 hertz and it travels at 60 m/s.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The frequency of a wave is defined as the number of vibrations or cycles it completes per second, which in this case is 60 vibrations per second, making it 60 hertz. The speed of the wave is the distance it travels divided by the time it takes, which is 30 meters in 1 second, resulting in a speed of 30 meters per second (m/s).
