When a particular wire is vibrating with a frequency of 6.3 Hz, a transverse wave of wavelength 53.3 cm is produced. Determine the speed of wave pulses along the wire.

Respuesta :

Answer:

335.79cm/s

Explanation:

When a transverse wave of wavelength λ is produced during the vibration of a wire, the frequency(f), and the speed(v) of the wave pulses are related to the wavelength as follows;

v = fλ        ------------------(ii)

From the question;

f = 6.3Hz

λ = 53.3cm

Substitute these values into equation (i) as follows;

v = 6.3 x 53.3

v = 335.79cm/s

Therefore, the speed of the wave pulses along the wire is 335.79cm/s
