Question
Calculate the frequency of a wave with speed of 3 x 106 m/s and wavelength of 1 x 104 m.A3 x 1010 HzB30 HzC300 HzD3000 Hz
Solution
The frequency of a wave can be calculated using the formula:
Frequency (f) = Speed of light (v) / Wavelength (λ)
Given: Speed of light (v) = 3 x 10^6 m/s Wavelength (λ) = 1 x 10^4 m
Substitute the given values into the formula:
f = (3 x 10^6 m/s) / (1 x 10^4 m)
f = 3 x 10^2 Hz
So, the frequency of the wave is 300 Hz. Therefore, the correct answer is C300 Hz.
