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) - Velocity of Wave is the speed at which a wave propagates through a medium, determined by the properties of the wave and the medium itself.
Wavelength - (Measured in Meter) - Wavelength is the distance between two consecutive peaks or troughs of a wave, representing the repeating pattern of a wave's oscillation.
Time Period of Progressive Wave - (Measured in Second) - Time Period of Progressive Wave is the time taken by the wave to complete one oscillation or cycle at a given point in space.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Wavelength: 0.4 Meter --> 0.4 Meter No Conversion Required
Time Period of Progressive Wave: 0.006556 Second --> 0.006556 Second No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

V_w = λ/T_W --> 0.4/0.006556

Evaluating ... ...

V_w = 61.012812690665

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

61.012812690665 Meter per Second --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

61.012812690665 ≈ 61.01281 Meter per Second <-- Velocity of Wave

What is Reference Intensity?

Reference intensity is a standard level of sound intensity used as a baseline for comparison. It provides a point of reference to measure and compare other sound intensities. This standard level is often used in calculations to express sound intensity levels relative to this baseline.
