The distance between two successive minima of a transverse wave is 2.7 m. Five crests of the wave pass a given point along the direction of travel every 15.0 s. The speed of the wave is

  1. A 0.9 m s-1
  2. B 1.2 m s-1
  3. C 0.5 m s-1
  4. D 2.4 m s-1
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 0.9 m s-1

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Distance between two successive minima =λ. Therefore, λ=2.7 m. Frequency of the wave =f =number of waves passing per second =515=13 s-1 Now, the speed of the wave can be written as, =fλ=13×2.7=0.9 m s-1
