Understanding the Relationship
The speed of a wave (v) is directly related to its frequency (f) and wavelength (λ) by the following equation:
* v = fλ
Calculations
1. Given:
* Frequency (f) = 3.50 Hz
* Wavelength (λ) = 0.700 m
2. Substitute the values into the equation:
* v = (3.50 Hz) * (0.700 m)
3. Calculate the speed:
* v = 2.45 m/s
Answer:
The speed of the periodic wave disturbance is 2.45 m/s.
