A transverse pulse of frequency 9 Hz traves 4.5m in 0.6 s. Calculate the wavelength of the pulse.
A
3.33 m
B
0.30 m
C
0.83 m
D
1.20 m
Verified Correct Answer: C.
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
Wavelength (\(\alpha\)) = \(\frac{Velocity (V)}{Frequency (f)}\)
Velocity = \(\frac{Distance}{Time}\) = \(\frac{4.5}{0.6}\)
= \(\frac{7.5}{9.0}\)
= 0.83m
