Understanding the Relationship
The relationship between wavelength (λ), frequency (f), and velocity (v) of a wave is given by:
v = fλ
Solving for Wavelength
1. Rearrange the formula: λ = v / f
2. Plug in the values: λ = 50 m/s / 5 Hz
3. Calculate: λ = 10 meters
Answer: The wavelength of the wave is 10 meters.
