A transverse periodic wave is established on a string. The wave is described by the expression y = 0.005 sin (20.0x + 2 ft) where y is in meters when x and t are in meters and seconds, respectively. If the wave travels with a speed of 20.0 m/s, what is its frequency, f?

    f = 63.64Hz

    Explanation:

    The equation of the transverse periodic wave

    y = 0.005 sin (20.0x + 2 ft)

    From the equation we can deduce that

    Amplitude A = 0.005

    Wave number K = 20

    Angular frequency w = 2πf

    We are asked to find the frequency (f)

    the formular for the wave number is given as K = 2π / lambda

    Lambda = 2π / K

    Lamda is the wavelength

    = 2 * 3.142 / 20

    = 0.3142m

    The velocity of the wave is expressed as v = frequency * lamba (wavelength)

    Frequency = velocity / wavelength

    f = 20 / 0.3142

    f = 63.65Hz
