Waves and wave properties

Front

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

Back

Speed = Frequency × Wavelength

Front

What happens to the wavelength of a wave when the frequency increases?

Back

The wavelength decreases.

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 is the relationship between frequency and wavelength in waves?

Back

They are inversely related; as frequency increases, wavelength decreases.

Front

What is the unit of frequency?

Back

Hertz (Hz)

Front

If the velocity of a wave is 12 m/s and the frequency is 600 Hz, what is the wavelength?

Back

0.02 m

Front

What is the frequency of a wave with a speed of 600 m/s and a wavelength of 2.0 m?

Back

300 hertz

Front

What is the wavelength of a wave with a frequency of 5 Hz and a speed of 25 m/s?

Back

5 m

Front

Define wavelength in the context of waves.

Back

Wavelength is the distance between successive crests or troughs of a wave.

Front

What is the effect of high frequency on wavelength?

Back

High frequency waves have short wavelengths.
