A periodic wave having a frequency of 5.0 hertz and a speed of 10 meters per second has a wavelength of?

ANSWER
[tex]\begin{equation*} 2.0\text{ }m \end{equation*}[/tex]EXPLANATION
To find the wavelength of the wave, apply the formula for the speed of a wave:
[tex]v=\lambda *f[/tex]where λ = wavelength
f = frequency
Therefore, by substituting the given values into the equation and solving for λ, the wavelength of the wave is:
[tex]\begin{gathered} 10=\lambda *5 \\ \Rightarrowλ=\frac{10}{5} \\ λ=2.0\text{ }m \end{gathered}[/tex]That is the answer.
