What is the wavelength of a wave that has a frequency of 1 $\mathrm{Hz}$ and travels at $300,000 \mathrm{km} / \mathrm{s?}$
Added by Sydney B.
Step 1
The formula to calculate the wavelength of a wave is: wavelength = speed of light / frequency In this case, the speed of light is given as $300,000 \mathrm{km} / \mathrm{s}$ and the frequency is given as $1 \mathrm{Hz}$. Show more…
