the distance between two successive troughs of wave is 0.4m. If the frequency of the source is 825Hz, calculate the speed of the wave

speed=330m/s

Explanation:

the speed of wave is given as

speed(meter per second) =frequency(hertz) * wavelength(meters)

so using the above formula we substitute the figures given in the question in the formula we get

speed = 0.4*825

speed =330m/s

note m/s is the si unit for speed which is read as meter per second

therefore speed =330m/s

see the picture for the vector

the magnitude of the vector by pythagorean theorem

r = √( (-10)^2 + (3)^2 ) = √109

magnitude = √109 units

the direction angle between vector and x-axis is

tan^(-1)(3/10) = 16.699

so the direction is approximately 16.7 degrees north of west
