Question 3

An earthquake produces a seismic wave with a frequency of 25 Hz.

The wave speed of this seismic wave is 6.0 km/s.

Calculate the wavelength of the seismic wave, in metres.

Use the equation:

wavelength=wave speedfrequency \text{wavelength} = \frac{\text{wave speed}}{\text{frequency}} wavelength=frequencywave speed​
