For a wave, wavelength divided by the time period is equal to:

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. Wave velocity.

  • The term wave velocity refers to the speed and direction at which a wave is travelling.
  • The distance travelled by a wave in one second is called wave velocity and its S.I unit is metre per second (ms-1).
  • The velocity of a wave is equal to the product of its wavelength and frequency(number of vibrations per second) and is independent of its intensity.
