Wavelength given Frequency Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Wavelength = Velocity of Wave/Wave Frequency
λ = V_w/f_w
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Wavelength - (Measured in Meter) - Wavelength is the distance covered by the wave in one oscillation.
Velocity of Wave - (Measured in Meter per Second) - The Velocity of Wave is equal to the product of its wavelength and frequency (number of vibrations per second) and is independent of its intensity.
Wave Frequency - (Measured in Hertz) - Wave Frequency is number of waves that pass a fixed point in given amount of time. Wave frequency can be measured by counting number of crests of waves that pass the fixed point in given time period.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Velocity of Wave: 60 Meter per Second --> 60 Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Wave Frequency: 90 Hertz --> 90 Hertz No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

λ = V_w/f_w --> 60/90

Evaluating ... ...

λ = 0.666666666666667

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.666666666666667 Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

0.666666666666667 ≈ 0.666667 Meter <-- Wavelength
