Two similar waves XNY travel through the same medium wave X has a frequency of 200 Hz and a wavelength of 35 m wave why has a frequency of 700 Hz what is the wavelength for wave y
The speed of a wave in a given medium is constant. Therefore, we can use the equation:
Speed = Frequency * Wavelength
For wave X:
Speed = Frequency * Wavelength
Speed = 200 Hz * 35 m
Speed = 7000 m/s
Using the same equation, we can find the wavelength for wave Y:
7000 m/s = 700 Hz * Wavelength_y
Wavelength_y = 7000 m/s / 700 Hz
Wavelength_y = 10 m
Therefore, the wavelength for wave Y is 10 m.
