Understanding Wave Properties

The relationship between the speed, frequency, and wavelength of a wave is fundamental in physics. This problem requires calculating the wavelength using the given frequency and speed.

Key Values Given

• Frequency ($f$): 50 Hz
• Wave Speed ($v$): 36 m/s

Calculating Wavelength

The formula connecting wave speed ($v$), frequency ($f$), and wavelength ($\lambda$) is:

$v = f \lambda$

To find the wavelength ($\lambda$), we rearrange the formula:

$\lambda = \frac{v}{f}$

Step-by-Step Calculation

1. Substitute the given values into the rearranged formula:

   $\lambda = \frac{36 \text{ m/s}}{50 \text{ Hz}}$

2. Perform the division:

   $\lambda = 0.72 \text{ m}$

Result

The calculated wavelength of the wave is 0.72 meters.
