Velocity of Progressive Wave Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Velocity of Wave = Wavelength/Time Period of Progressive Wave
V_w = λ/T_w
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Velocity of Wave - (Measured in Meter per Second) - The Velocity of Wave is equal to the product of its wavelength and frequency (number of vibrations per second) and is independent of its intensity.
Wavelength - (Measured in Meter) - Wavelength is the distance covered by the wave in one oscillation.
Time Period of Progressive Wave - (Measured in Second) - Time period of progressive wave is the time taken by a wave to complete one oscillation.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Wavelength: 0.4 Meter --> 0.4 Meter No Conversion Required
Time Period of Progressive Wave: 2.6 Second --> 2.6 Second No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

V_w = λ/T_w --> 0.4/2.6

Evaluating ... ...

V_w = 0.153846153846154

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.153846153846154 Meter per Second --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

0.153846153846154 ≈ 0.153846 Meter per Second <-- Velocity of Wave

(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)
