What is wave speed?

Back

Wave speed is the distance a wave travels per unit of time, typically measured in meters per second (m/s).

Front

What is frequency in the context of waves?

Back

Frequency is the number of waves that pass a point in one second, measured in Hertz (Hz).

Front

If a wave has a speed of 25 m/s and a frequency of 50 Hz, what is its wavelength?

Back

The wavelength is 0.5 m.

Front

A wave has a wavelength of 10 m and a speed of 340 m/s. What is its frequency?

Back

The frequency is 34 Hz.

Front

If the wave velocity is 20 m/s and the wavelength is 2 m, what is the frequency?

Back

The frequency is 10 Hz.

Front

What is the relationship between wave speed, frequency, and wavelength?

Back

Front

What happens to wave speed if frequency increases while wavelength remains constant?

Back

If frequency increases and wavelength remains constant, wave speed increases.

Front

What is the unit of measurement for wave speed?

Back

The unit of measurement for wave speed is meters per second (m/s).
