Question
identify an appropriate unit for each periodic wave property. property unit frequency wavelength wave speed 2 of 10 skip check
Step1: Recall wave - property units
Frequency is the number of cycles per second, and its SI unit is hertz (Hz).
Step2: Recall wavelength unit
Wavelength is the distance between two consecutive points in phase on a wave, and its SI unit is meter (m).
Step3: Recall wave - speed unit
Wave speed is the distance a wave travels per unit time. Since speed is distance divided by time, and the SI unit of distance is meter (m) and of time is second (s), the SI unit of wave speed is meters per second (m/s).
