Chapter 22, Problem 1PLA

To determine

The equation that relates the speed, frequency and the wavelength of a wave.

Answer to Problem 1PLA

The equation that relates the speed, frequency and the wavelength of a waveis $V=f\lambda$.

Explanation of Solution

Write the equation to fine the velocity of the travelling wave

    $V=f\lambda$

Here, $V$ is the speed of the wave, $f$ is the frequency of the wave and $\lambda$ is the wavelength of the wave.

The above equation relates the speed, frequency and the wavelength of a wave.

Conclusion:

Thus, the equation that relates the speed, frequency and the wavelength of a wave is $V=f\lambda$.
