Question on: JAMB Physics - 2019

A vibrator causes water ripples to travel across the surface of a tank. The wave travels 50cm in 20s and the distance between successive crests is 5cm. Calculate the frequency of the vibrator

A

5Hz

B

6Hz

C

5.2Hz

D

25Hz

Ask EduPadi AI for a detailed answer
Correct Option: A
V =distance
time
=50 cm
25
=25 cm/s


V = fλ

hence,

f=V.λ

 

=25
5
=5Hz

 

f = 5Hz
