1. A wave has a wavelength of 10 m and a speed of 340 m/s.

What is the frequency of the

wave?
Given: Solution:
v
v = 340 m/s f=
λ
340 m/ s
λ = 10 m =
10 m
f =? f = 34 1/s or 34 Hz

f = 34 Hz

2. A wavelength with a frequency of 500 Hz is travelling at a speed of 200 m/s. What is the
wavelength?
Given: Solution:
v
v = 200 m/s λ=
f
200 m/s
λ=? =
5 001 /s
f = 500 Hz or 1/s λ = o.4 m

λ = 0. 4 meters
3. What is the energy of a 7.66 x 1014 Hz wave?

Given: Solution:
E=? E=hf
h = 6.63 x 10-34Js = (6.63 x 10-34J/s) (7.66 x 1012 1/s)

f = 7.66 x 1012 Hz or 1/s E = 5.08 x 10-9 J

E = 5.08 x 10-19J

4. A wavelength has a frequency of 900 Hz and a wavelength of 200 m. At what speed is

this wave travelling?
Given: Solution:
v=? v=λf
λ = 200 m = (200 m) (900 1/s)
f = 900 Hz or 1/s v = 180 000 m/s
v = 180 000 m/s
