The wavelength of a wave can be calculated by dividing the speed of a wave by its frequency.
wavelength = speed (m/s) / frequency (hz)
If a wave is traveling at 990 m/s at a frequency of 110 hz, what is its wavelength?
speed = 990m/s
frequency = 110hz
wavelength = 990m/s / 110hz
wavelength = 9m
The speed of a wave can be calculated by dividing the waves wavelength by its frequency. The wavelength of a wave is the distance from peak to peak. The frequency of a wave is the number of waves pass a given point in a set amount of time.
wave speed (m/s) = wavelength (m) / frequency (hz)
If a wave has a wavelength of 9m and a frequency of 50hz, what is its speed?
wavelength = 9m
frequency = 50hz
wave speed (m/s) = 9m / 50hz
wave speed = 0.18 m/s
The wave has a speed of 0.18 m/s.
