Marco is conducting an experiment. He knows the wave that he is working with has a wavelength of 32 point 4 centimeters If he measures the frequency as 3 hertz, which statement about the wave is accurate?
Answer
A
The wave has traveled 32 point 4 centimeters in 9 seconds.
B
The wave has traveled 97 point 2 centimeters in 3 seconds.
C
The wave has traveled 97 point 2 centimeters in 1 second.
D
The wave has traveled 32 point 4 centimeters in 3 seconds.
Explanation
Wave speed equals frequency multiplied by wavelength: 3 hertz × 32.4 centimeters = 97.2 centimeters per second. Therefore, the wave travels 97.2 centimeters in 1 second, which matches choice C.
