The diagram above illustrates a mode of vibration of a wire of length 125 cm. The speed of the waves along the wire is 120 ms-1. Use the diagram to answer questions 2 and 3.
Determine the frequency of the waves

240Hz
24Hz
192Hz
286Hz

Explanation

v = 120m/s, λ = 0.50m, f = ? 

v = fλ

f = \(\frac{v}{λ} = \(\frac{120}{0.50}\)

Therefore, = 240Hz.
