JAMB 2014 - Question 26
Physics 2014 JAMB Past Questions - Question 26: The distance between two successive crests of a wave is 15cm and velocity 300ms Calculate the frequency.
Choose the most appropriate option for the gap .
A:
B:
C:
D:
Correct Answer
B
Explanation
Distance between time successive crests = wavelength, = 15cm = 0.15mvelocity, V=300m/sbut v= f where f = frequency .f =vtherefore f=V= 300/0.15 = 2000Hz - 2x103Hz
