The frequency of the wave with a** speed** of 330 m/s and 2 meter wavelength is 165 Hz. The time period of the wave is then, 0.006 seconds.
What is frequency ?
Frequency of a wave is the number of wave cycles per second. Frequency of a wave is the inverse of its time period. It is inversely proportional to the wavelength and directly proportional to the speed.
Hence, ฮฝ = c/ฮป, where c is the speed.
The frequency of a sound wave is called its pitch .
Given that, c = 330 m/s
wavelength ฮป = 2 meters.
frequency = 330/2 = 165 sโปยน or 165 Hz.
The time period of a wave = 1/ frequency.
T = 1/165 = 0.006 s or 6 milliseconds.
Therefore, the** frequency **of the wave is 165 Hz and time period is 0.006 seconds.
