Question 115

A student writes down some facts about two transverse waves.

Wave 1 has a frequency f f\,f and a velocity vvv.

Wave 2 has five times the frequency of wave 1 and is travelling at a velocity of 2v2v2v.

What is the wavelength of wave 2 in terms of f f\,f and vvv?

A

2v5f\frac{2v}{5f}5f2v​

B

5v2f\frac{5v}{2f}2f5v​

C

2f5v\frac{2f}{5v}5v2f​

D
