How do wavelength and periods relate?
Wavelength*Frequency = Velocity of the wave. or Wavelength/Period = Velocity of the wave.
How do you find the wave speed from frequency and the wavelenghts?
speed= frqquency*wavelength
How do you find the wavelength from wave speed?
draw a triangle and make 3 areas in the triangle. on the top is S or Speed. on the bottom left is F or Frequency. and on the bottom right is a bckwards/upside down Y for Wavelength. then S divided by For Y. and F times Y. will get you wavelength and what you need. draw what i just said.
What happens to the wavelength of a wave when the frequency of a wave is doubled but the wave speed stays the same?
Wavelength is halved.
How do you find the period of a wave if you are given the wavelength?
You cannot because there is not sufficient information.
How do you measure wavelength on a transverse wave?
1 wavelength in a transverse wave is equal too the distance between crest and crest or trough and trough
If two transverse waves have the same wavelength the wave with the has the greatest wave speed.?
If two transverse waves have the same wavelength, the wave with the __________ has the greatest wave speed.
What determines the color of a transverse wave?
Wavelength
What is the wavelength of a transverse wave?
2.7 cm
What is the distance from crest to crest in a transverse wave?
The distance from crest to crest in a transverse wave is called a wavelength.
Lowest part of a transverse wave?
The lowest point on a transverse wave is called the trough
What are the two parts to a transverse wave?
A wave is composed of an amplitude and a wavelength. A transverse wave contains oscillations perpendicular to the direction the wave is traveling, for instance, a sine wave.
What is the distance from crest to midpoint of a transverse wave?
If I understand the question correctly, that's one-quarter of a full cycle, so it is 1/4 of the wavelength. The wavelength varies from wave to wave - and this has nothing to do whether the wave is transverse or longitudinal.
What is The wavelength of a transverse wave is often measured from?
Crest to trough
What is the distance between 2 crests on a transverse wave?
"wavelength"
What part of the transverse wave determines the color of light?
The wavelength
How can you decrease the wavelength of a transverse wave?
Speed (of the wave) = wavelength x frequency. You normally can't do much about the speed, but if you increase the frequency, you'll decrease the wavelength.
