A longitudinal wave is produced on a slinky. The frequency of the wave is `25 Hz` and it travels at a speed of `20 cm//s`. Find the separation between consecutive positions of maximum compressions.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
0.8 cm
Here, `v = 25 Hz, v = 20 cm//s, lamda = (v)/(v) = (20 cm//s)/(25 //s) = 0.8 cm`.
