A source produces 20 crests and 20 troughs in 4 seconds. The second crest is 3 cm away from the first crest.Calculate :
i. Wavelength [ Ans : 3 × [tex] {10}^{ - 2} [/tex] m ]
ii. Frequency [ Ans : 5 Hz ]
iii. Wave speed [ Ans : 1.5 × [tex] {10}^{ - 1} \tt{ {ms}^{ - 1}} [/tex] ]

Answer:

Solution given:

No of waves[N] =20crests & 20 troughs

=20waves

Time[T]=4seconds

distance[d]=3cm=0.03m

Now

Wave length=3cm=3 × [tex] {10}^{ - 2}m [/tex]

Frequency=[tex] \frac{No of waves}{time}[/tex]

=[tex] \frac{20}{4} [/tex]=5Hertz

and

Wave speed:wave length×frequency=3 × [tex] {10}^{ - 2}m [/tex]×5=1.5 × [tex] {10}^{ - 1} \tt{ {ms}^{ - 1}} [/tex].
