Transcribed Image Text:A wave with a frequency of 1200 Hz is traveling at a speed of 300 m/s. What is the wavelength?
Expert Solution
Step 1

Given  ,

          frequency  (f)= 1200HZ

          velocity (v) = 300 m/s

we know that ,

           v = f λ

           wavelength (λ) =v / f

                                λ = 300 / 1200

                                λ =  0.25 m
