The speed of a wave in a medium is `960 ms^(-1).` If 3600 waves are passing through a point in the medium in one minute then calculate the wavelength.

A

2m

B

4m

C

8m

D

16m

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
`v=960 m//s, n=(3600)/(60) Hz`.
so `lambda+(v)/(n)=(960)/(60)=16 m`
