Understanding the Relationship
The relationship between wave velocity (v), wavelength (λ), and frequency (f) is:
* v = λf
Solving for Frequency
1. Rearrange the formula to solve for frequency:
* f = v / λ
2. Plug in the given values:
* f = 100 m/s / 20 m
3. Calculate the frequency:
* f = 5 Hz (Hertz)
Therefore, the frequency of the wave is 5 Hz.
