Problem 4 : The wavelength of a wave is 0.02 meters. Calculate the frequency of the wave in hertz (Hz) if it travels at the speed of light ((3×108)m/s).
Solution :

The speed of a wave ((v)) is related to its frequency ((f)) and wavelength ((λ)) by the formula: [v=fλ] Rearrange the formula to solve for frequency: [f=vλ]

Substituting the values: [f=3×108,m/s0.02,m=1.5×1010,Hz]
