Question

What is the wavelength of an earthquake wave if it had a speed of 5km/s and a frequency of 12 Hz?

Answer 1

For ANY wave,

Wavelength = (wave speed) / (frequency)

Wavelength = (5,000 m/s) / (12 / sec)

Wavelength = (5,000 / 12) meters

Wavelength = 416.7 meters

Answer 2

500 meters will be the wavelength of an earthquake wave if it had a speed of 5km and an frequency of 12hz.
