Wave Properties

Question 6 • PARTA - EOP: PGCPS BIOGEOCHEM CR (FALL2026) - 798113

A wave has a frequency of 23.0 Hz and a wavelength of 14.9 m. What is the velocity of the wave?

Answer
A
1.54 m/s
B
8.1 m/s
C
37.9 m/s
D
343 m/s

Explanation

Use the wave-speed relationship: velocity = frequency × wavelength. Substituting the values gives 23.0 Hz × 14.9 m = 342.7 m/s, which rounds to 343 m/s. Therefore, the wave’s velocity is 343 m/s, choice D.
