so in 0.10 seconds the wave generator goes through 3 cycles; the frequency is \(f=\frac{N}{\Delta t}=30\text{ Hz}\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

in one single second, there will be ten times as many waves produced (30)

OpenStudy (yumyum247):

This is how i did it... Given: # of loops = 3, d = 4.5m, t = 0.10sec. required: F = ? Solution : 3 loops = 3/4 λ = 3/4 λ X 3 = 4.5 λ V = d/t V = 4.5 / 0.10sec V = 45m/sec Frequency = V = f X λ V = 45m/sec / 4.5 λ V = 10 Hz Therefore the frequency is 10 Hz

the question said "LOOPS" not cycles

OpenStudy (yumyum247):

1 complete cycle = 4 loops

OpenStudy (anonymous):

eh, the language is ambiguous; a complete loop would be half a cycle, anyways, so in actuality that would represent one-and-a-half cycles in 0.1 seconds and so a corresponding 15 cycles in 1 second, or \(f=15\text{ Hz}\)

can you define carefully what you mean by 'loop'? |dw:1436322714361:dw|
