Quiz Number 2: Wave Speed Problem Solving


Wave speed equation: Wave Speed = wavelength x frequency
v = f

Sample Problems:
Sample Problem 1.) A wave has frequency of 50 Hz and a wavelength of 10 m. What is the
speed of the wave?
Given:
f  50 Hz
 10 m
v?
Formula:
v = f
Solution:
v = f
v = (10m)(50 Hz)
v = 500 m/s

Sample Problem 2.) A wave has frequency of 5 Hz and a speed of 25 m/s. What is the
wavelength of the wave?
Given:
f  5 Hz
v  25 m/s
=?
Formula:
 = v/f
Solution:
 = v/f
 = 25 m/s ÷ 5 Hz
=5m

Sample Problem 3.) A wave has wavelength of 10 m and a speed of 340 m/s. What is the
frequency of the wave?
Given:
 10 m
v  340 m/s
f=?
Formula:
f = v/
Solution:
f = v/
f = 340 m/s ÷ 10 m
f = 34 Hz
Directions: Answer the following problems. Write the given, formula and solution.
1. A wave with a frequency of 14 Hz has a wavelength of 3 meters. At what speed will this
wave travel?

2. The speed of a wave is 65 m/s. If the wavelength of the wave is 0.8 meters, what is the
frequency of the wave?

3. A wave has a frequency of 46 Hz and a wavelength of 1.7 meters. What is the speed of
this wave?

4. A wave traveling at 230 m/s has a wavelength of 2.1 meters. What is the frequency of this
wave?

5. A wave with a frequency of 500 Hz is traveling at a speed of 200 m/s. What is the
wavelength?

6. A wave has a frequency of 540 Hz and is traveling at 340 m/s. What is its wavelength?
7. A wave has a wavelength of 125 meters is moving at a speed of 20 m/s. What is it’s
frequency?

8. A wave has a frequency of 900 Hz and a wavelength of 200 m. At what speed is this wave
traveling?

9. A wave has a wavelength of 0.5 meters and a frequency of 120 Hz. What is the wave’s
speed?

10.Radio waves travel at a speed of 300,000,000 m/s. WFNX broadcasts radio waves at a
frequency of 101,700,000 Hertz. What is the wavelength of WFNX’s radio waves?
