Wave Calculations

Front

What is the formula to calculate wavelength?

Back

Wavelength (λ) = Speed (v) / Frequency (f)

Front

What is the relationship between frequency and period?

Back

Period (T) = 1 / Frequency (f)

Front

If a wave has a frequency of 5 Hz and a speed of 25 m/s, what is its wavelength?

Back

5 m

Front

What is the unit of frequency?

Back

Hertz (Hz)

Front

How do you convert kilohertz (kHz) to hertz (Hz)?

Back

1 kHz = 1000 Hz

Front

What is the speed of a wave if its frequency is 300 Hz and wavelength is 2 m?

Back

Speed (v) = Frequency (f) × Wavelength (λ) = 600 m/s

Front

What is the frequency of a wave with a speed of 600 m/s and a wavelength of 2 m?

Back

300 Hz

Front

What is the period of a wave with a frequency of 15 Hz?

Back

0.067 sec

Front

If a wave travels at 12 m/s and has a frequency of 0.6 kHz, what is its wavelength?

Back

0.02 m

Front

What is the definition of a wave?

Back

A wave is a disturbance that transfers energy through space or matter.
