suppose a student is making waves in a slinky the student's hand makes one complete oscillation in 0.04s thw wavelenght in the slinky is 0.60 m for this wave determine a) period and frequency b) wave speed

Respuesta :

Ai. The period of the wave is 0.04 s.

Aii. The frequency of the wave is 25 Hz

B. The wave speed is 15 m/s

A. How to determine the period and the frequency

i. How to determine the period

We can obtain the period of the wave as illustrated below:

  • Number of oscillation (n) = 1
  • Time (t) = 0.04 s
  • Period =?

Period = t / n

Period = 0.04 / 1

Period = 0.04 s

Thus, the period of the wave is 0.04 s

ii. How to determine the frequency

The frequency of the wave can be obtained as illustrated below:

  • Period (T) = 0.04 s
  • Frequency (f) =?

f = 1 / T

f = 1 / 0.04

f = 25 Hz

Thus, the frequency of the wave is 25 Hz

B. How to determine the wave speed

  • Frequency (f) = 25 Hz
  • Wavelength (λ) = 0.6 m
  • Wave speed (v) =?

v = λf

v = 0.6 × 25

v = 15 m/s

Thus, the wave speed is 15 m/s
