document.write( "Question 168242: The speed of a wave varies jointly with the wavelength and the frequency of the wave. If the speed of a wave is 20 feet per second, its wavelength is 50 feet and its frequency is 0.4 waves per second. What is the speed of a wave whose wavelength is 1 foot and whose frequency is 8 waves per second? \n" ); document.write( "

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
formula would read speed of the wave= constant(wavelength)(frequency)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"w%5Bs%5D=k%28w%29%28f%29\" \"w%5Bs%5D\" is the speed of the wave. w is the wave length
\n" ); document.write( "....................and f is the frequency\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "20=k(50)(.4)
\n" ); document.write( "20=20k
\n" ); document.write( "k=1\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "so \"w%5Bs%5D=%281%29%281%29%288%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight%28w%5Bs%5D=8%29\"
