The wavelength of a periodic wave is 0.750 m. If the frequency is 425 Hz, then what is the velocity of the wave?
A) 210 m/s
B) 276 m/s
C) 319 m/s
D) 410 m/s
E) 472 m/s

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The velocity of a wave can be calculated using the formula v = λf, where v is velocity, λ is wavelength, and f is frequency.

Substituting the given values, v = 0.750 m x 425 Hz = 318.75 m/s ≈ 319 m/s.

Therefore, the answer is choice C.

The Wavelength of a Periodic Wave Is 0
