2.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is the formula for calculating wave speed?
Back
Wave speed (v) = Frequency (f) × Wavelength (λ).
3.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
If a wave has a frequency of 3 Hz and a wavelength of 2 meters, what is its speed?
Back
Wave speed = 3 Hz × 2 m = 6 m/s.
4.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is frequency?
Back
Frequency is the number of waves that pass a given point in one second, measured in Hertz (Hz).
5.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is wavelength?
Back
Wavelength is the distance between two consecutive points that are in phase on a wave, such as crest to crest or trough to trough.
6.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
How are frequency and wavelength related?
Back
Frequency and wavelength are inversely related; as frequency increases, wavelength decreases, and vice versa.
