ANSWER
10 Hz
EXPLANATION
Given:
• The wavelength of a periodic wave, λ = 1.6 m
,• Its speed, v = 16 m/s
Find:
• The wave frequency, f
The frequency of a wave is given by the quotient between the wave's speed and its wavelength,
[tex]f=\frac{v}{\lambda}[/tex]Replace the known values and solve,
[tex]f=\frac{16m\/s}{1.6m}=10\text{ }\frac{1}{s}=10\text{ }Hz[/tex]Hence, the frequency of the wave is 10 Hz.
