The speed of a wave in a medium is 960 m/s. If 3600 waves are passing through a point in the medium in 1 min., then the wavelength of the wave is
-
- 8 m
- 12 m
- 16 m
- 20 m
Correct Option: C
Given speed of wave (v) = 960m/s
Frequency of wave (f) = 3600/min
| = | = rev/sec = 60 rev per sec. | |
| 60 |
| Wavelength of waves (λ) = | = | = 16m | ||
| ƒ | 60 |
| [Alt : λ = | , | |
| w |
where c = velocity of wave
t = time in second
w = no. of waves]
