A wave of infrared light has a speed of 6 m/s and a wavelength of 12 m. What is the frequency of this wave?

Answer
A
0.5 Hz
B
2.0 Hz
C
18 Hz
D
72 Hz

Explanation

Use the wave equation: frequency equals speed divided by wavelength. Here, 6 m/s ÷ 12 m = 0.5 s⁻¹, which is 0.5 Hz. Therefore, the correct choice is A) 0.5 Hz.
