Which equation could be rearranged to calculate the frequency of a wave?
wavelength = frequency/speed
frequency = wavelength/speed
wavelength = speed/frequency
frequency = speed x wavelength​

Respuesta :

Answer:

wavelength = speed/frequency

Explanation:

Required

Determine which of the options can be used to calculate frequency

The relationship between wavelength, speed and frequency is as follows;

[tex]Frequency = \frac{Wave\ Speed}{Wave\ Length}[/tex] ---- Equation 1

When option (1), (2) and (4) are rearranged, they do not result in the above formula; only option (3) does

Checking option (3)

[tex]Wave\ Length = \frac{Speed}{Frequency}[/tex]

Multiply both sides by Frequency

[tex]Wave\ Length * Frequency = \frac{Speed}{Frequency} * Frequency[/tex]

[tex]Wave\ Length * Frequency = Speed[/tex]

Divide both sides by Wave Length

[tex]\frac{Wave\ Length * Frequency}{Wave\ Length} = \frac{Speed}{Wave\ Length }[/tex]

[tex]Frequency = \frac{Speed}{Wave\ Length }[/tex] --- Equation 2

Comparing equation 1 and 2; both equations are the same.

Hence, option (3) answers the question
