Understanding the Relationship
The relationship between wavelength (λ), frequency (f), and wave speed (v) is:
* v = fλ
Solving for Wavelength
1. Rearrange the formula: λ = v / f
2. Plug in the values:
* v = 56 m/s (wave speed)
* f = 48 Hz (frequency)
3. Calculate:
* λ = 56 m/s / 48 Hz = 1.17 meters
Therefore, the wavelength of the wave is 1.17 meters.
