Wave Calculations Worksheet

Front

What is the formula to calculate wave velocity?

Back

Wave velocity (v) = Wavelength (λ) × Frequency (f)

Front

What is the unit of frequency?

Back

Hertz (Hz)

Front

If the velocity of a wave is 110 m/s and the frequency is 300 Hz, what is the wavelength?

Back

0.367 m

Front

If the wavelength is 1.2 m and the frequency is 210 Hz, what is the velocity?

Back

252 m/s

Front

What is the relationship between wavelength, frequency, and velocity?

Back

They are related by the equation v = λ × f.

Front

If the velocity of a wave is 320 m/s and the wavelength is 80 m, what is the frequency?

Back

4 Hz

Front

What is the wavelength of a wave with a velocity of 600 m/s and a frequency of 300 Hz?

Back

2.0 m

Front

If the wavelength is 0.5 m and the frequency is 150 Hz, what is the velocity?

Back

75 m/s

Front

What does a higher frequency indicate about a wave?

Back

A higher frequency indicates a shorter wavelength.

Front

What does a lower frequency indicate about a wave?

Back

A lower frequency indicates a longer wavelength.
