To solve question 16, we need to calculate the frequency of the wave. Step 1: Identify the given information. The diagram shows one complete wave cycle from point A (a crest) to point B (the next crest). The time taken for this complete cycle is the period (T) of the wave. Given time for energy transfer from A to B, which is the period, T = 2.5 × 10^-3 s. Step 2: Use the formula for frequency. Frequency (f) is the reciprocal of the period (T). f = (1)/(T) Step 3: Substitute the value of the period and calculate the frequency. f = (1)/(2.5 × 10^-3) s f = (1)/(2.5) × 10^3 Hz f = 0.4 × 10^3 Hz f = 400 Hz This can also be written in scientific notation as 4.0 × 10^2 Hz. Step 4: Compare with the given options. The calculated frequency is 4.0 × 10^2 Hz, which corresponds to option (c). The final answer is c) 4.0 × 10^2 Hz. Send me the next one 📸
