Question 3 (10 points)

James is trying to calculate the wavelength of a wave. The frequency of the wave is 10 Hz and the speed of the wave is 50 m/s. What is the
wavelength? Show your work.
M

Answer 1

Frequency and wavelength are inversely proportional to each other. The wave with the greatest frequency has the shortest wavelength. Twice the frequency means one-half the wavelength. For this reason, the wavelength ratio is the inverse of the frequency ratio.
