The speed of a wave equals the frequency times the wavelength (speed = frequency x wavelength). Therefore, the wavelength would equal the speed divided by the frequency. Also, the speed of a wave in a vacuum is the speed of light, c, which is a constant.
To get the wavelength of a wave simply divide the wavespeed with its frequency.
To find the frequency of a wave using its wavelength, you can use the formula: frequency speed of the wave / wavelength. The speed of the wave is a constant value, so you can divide the speed by the wavelength to calculate the frequency.
The formula to find the wavelength (λ) of a wave is: λ = v/f, where v is the speed of the wave and f is the frequency of the wave.
To calculate frequency when given a half-wavelength, you first find the full wavelength by doubling the half-wavelength value. Then, use the formula frequency = speed of wave / wavelength to find the frequency of the wave.
wave length = wave speed divided by its frequency
Wave period can be found by dividing the wavelength by the wave speed. The formula is: Period = Wavelength / Wave Speed. The period represents the time it takes for one wave cycle to pass a given point.
v=fλ where f is the frequency, and λ is the wavelength
To find the wavelength of a longitudinal wave, you can measure the distance between two consecutive compressions or rarefactions. This distance represents one complete cycle of the wave and corresponds to the wavelength. Alternatively, you can use the wave speed formula (speed = frequency x wavelength) to find the wavelength if you know the speed and frequency of the 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
To find the shortest wavelength, you would need to look for the highest frequency electromagnetic wave in the spectrum. You can use the formula: wavelength = speed of light / frequency to calculate the wavelength, with the highest frequency corresponding to the shortest wavelength.
To estimate the speed of a wave, a person can estimate the distance the wave is from shore and then time how long the wave takes to reach the shore. For example, if a wave is one mile out and it takes one minute to reach shore, the wave is traveling at 60 miles per hour.
To find the speed of a wave, you need to know the frequency of the wave (number of oscillations per second) and the wavelength of the wave (distance between two consecutive points in phase). The speed of a wave is calculated by multiplying the frequency of the wave by its wavelength.
