Understanding the Relationship
* Wavelength (λ): The distance between two consecutive crests or troughs of a wave.
* Frequency (f): The number of waves that pass a given point per second.
* Speed (v): The distance the wave travels per second.
These are related by the following equation:
v = fλ
Solving for Wavelength
1. Rearrange the equation: λ = v / f
2. Plug in the values: λ = 45 m/s / 60 Hz
3. Calculate: λ = 0.75 meters
Therefore, the wavelength of the wave is 0.75 meters.
