I am studying for an upcoming test, and it is known that there are hiccups in our study guide. I am stuck on two problems.
1. What is the frequency, in Hz, of a sound wave (v=340 m/s) with a wavelength of 10 m?
2. A series of ocean waves, each 8 m from crest to crest and moving past an observer at a rate of 2 waves per second, has what speed?
1. Frequency= 1 / Period
2. V = Lambda / Period
1. I get the answer .029, but the study guide says 0.0029 Hz?
2. I get the answer 4, but study guide says 16?
Any help is appreciated!
