Question

one formula for wavelength ($\lambda$) is $\lambda=\frac{v}{f}$ where ($v$) equals distance a wave travels in meters from a source in one second while ($f$) equals oscillations of the wave in one second. if a wave travels 1,402 meters in one second and has 690 oscillations per second, what is the wavelength in decimal form (round to the nearest hundredth if necessary). (you do not need to include the units. you only need to enter your answer as a number.) review the linked section of the prealgebra textbook for problem help.

Explanation:

Step1: Identify values

Given $v = 1402$ and $f=690$.

Step2: Substitute into formula

$\lambda=\frac{v}{f}=\frac{1402}{690}$.

Step3: Calculate result

$\lambda\approx2.03$ (rounded to nearest hundred - th).

Answer:

$2.03$
