Answer:
V = 2600ms⁻¹
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Wavelength(λ) = 13meters
Period (T) = 0.005s
Period(T) is the time it takes for a full cycle of vibration to pass through. It's unit is in seconds (s)
The Velocity of waves is expressed as:
V = fλ
Where f = frequency(s⁻¹)
Frequency of a wave is the number of waves that passes through a point per unit time
f = 1/T
Where T is the period
We can therefore express Velocity of waves as a function of period
V = λ/T
Inputing the parameters, we have:
V = 13m / 0.005s
V = 2600ms⁻¹
