How do you calculate wave speed given the wavelength and the depth?
Wave speed = (wavelength) x (frequency) "Depth" (?) is not involved.
If a sound wave is traveling 2.5 meters and it takes 0.0073 seconds what is its frequency and wavelength?
There isn't enough information in this question. You can calculate the speed of the wave (distance divided by time), which is the frequency times the wavelength. But you still need one of them to find the other.
How do you calculate the period of a wave from its frequency?
T=Period F=frequency T=1/F Period=1/F
How do you solve for the speed of the wave give the formula?
One commonly used formula for waves is: speed (of the wave) = frequency x wavelength If you know any two of these pieces of information, you can calculate the third one.
How do you find wave length and speed when none is given but frequency is given?
Well, do you know what kind of wave they're talking about ? I mean, is it sound ? Is it electromagnetic, like light or radio ? If it's one of those, then you know the speed, and with speed and frequency, you can calculate wavelength. If it's just a question on a piece of paper that says "There's a wave and it has this frequency, what is it's speed ?", then no answer is possible ... you have one measly piece of information and everything else is unknown.
How to calculate the frequency of an electromagnetic wave you need to know the speed of the wave and its?
You need to know it speed, wavelenght and its frequency.
If you know the wavelength of an electromagnetic wave in a vacuum you can calculate its?
Momentum, energy, frequency, and wave number (but not wave vector.)
What will be the speed when amplitude and frequency is given?
In order to calculate the speed of a wave, you need to know the frequency and wavelength. Amplitude has no effect on the speed, so knowing the amplitude doesn't help.
Why is wavelength all you need to know to calculate EM wave frequency in a vacuum?
Because the speed of light in a vacuum is constant(c). hence the formula, v=f.w, where v is velovity, f is frequency and w is wavelength, can be used to calculate the frequency.
How do you calculate the frequency of a wave?
Divided the wave's speed by its wavelength.
How do you calculate the wavelength of frequency?
Wavelength = (speed of the wave) divided by (frequency)
How do you calculate the speed of a wave?
you find out a waves speed by taking the wavelength and divide it by it's wave period or how long it takes for the wave to complete a full wavelength. This is what my textbook said. Speed=Wavelength ×Frequency
How do you calculate frequency wavelength or wave speed?
you divide!
What was your average spped for waves with 1-hz frequency?
The speed of a wave does not depend on its frequency. We would only need to know what kind of a wave it was ... whether sound, earthquake, ocean, electromagnetic, etc. ... and what substance it was moving through at the time, and we could either calculate or look up its speed, without ever knowing its frequency.
How can you find the wavelength if the wave speed is not known?
In that case, it would be useful to know what you DO know. You can use the formula speed of wave = frequency x wavelength, and if you know two of the three pieces of information, you can calculate the third one. Otherwise, you don't have enough information; you may need to actually measure the wave for example.
How do you calculate wavelength of a sound wave?
v = fλ V/f = λ (wavelength) V = 340ms-1 340/f = λ In short you need to know the frequency of the particular sound wave to work out it's wavelength. once you know that you plug it into the above equation and you will get the wavelength of the wave.
What are the two factors you need to determine the wave speed?
wave frequencys tell us the number of waves there are on that diagram.
