Wave Calculations

Front

What is the formula to calculate the speed of a wave?

Back

Speed = Frequency × Wavelength

Front

If a wave has a frequency of 50 Hz and a wavelength of 10 m, what is its speed?

Back

500 m/s

Front

What happens to the wavelength of a wave as its frequency increases?

Back

The wavelength decreases.

Front

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

Back

5 m

Front

What is the relationship between frequency and wavelength in wave calculations?

Back

Frequency and wavelength are inversely related.

Front

If a wave has a wavelength of 10 m and a speed of 340 m/s, what is its frequency?

Back

34 Hz

Front

What is the wavelength of a wave with a speed of 12 m/s and a frequency of 600 Hz?

Back

0.02 m

Front

Define 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

What is the unit of measurement for wavelength?

Back

Meters (m).

Front

What is the effect of high frequency on wavelength?

Back

High frequency waves have short wavelengths.
