Answer to Question #207886 in Molecular Physics | Thermodynamics for Ankush

Question

A rope that is 1.50 m long exhibits a standing wave pattern with 6 nodes.  If the frequency of the waves is 75.0 Hz, what is the velocity of the waves? 

Answer 1

The wave velocity definition is given as the velocity associated with the disturbance propagating in the given medium or in other words, wave velocity is the distance travelled by period motion per unit time. The wave velocity depends upon the nature of the medium used.

Velocity = 75Hz/1.5m = 50 m/second
