When working with waves frequency x equals speed?
When working with waves ... or even just talking about them ... (frequency) = (speed) divided by (wavelength) (wavelength) = (speed) divided by (frequency) (frequency) times (wavelength) = (speed)
How is the wavelength related to frequency for waves moving at a constant speed?
Whatever the wavelength and frequency happen to be, their product is always equal to the speed.
How does the speed of a wave relate to its frequency and wavelength?
Speed of wave (e.g. m/s) = wavelength (m) x number of waves per second (Hz) So you can figure out any one of speed, wavelength or frequency if you know the other two. Often, you know the speed (e.g. light, 3x10^8 m/s, or sound, 340 m/s).
How do you find the wavelengths in meters of radiation what frequencies?
Wavelength x frequency = speed of the wave, so wavelength = speed / frequency. In SI units, wavelength (in meters) = speed (in meters/second) / frequency (in Hertz). If you are talking about electromagnetic waves in avacuum, use 300,000,000 m/s for the speed.
What is the frequency of a wave if its wavelength is 5 m?
That depends, what wave you are talking about. The general relationship is: speed (of the wave) = frequency x wavelength. Solving for frequency: frequency = speed / wavelength If you are talking about an electromagnetic wave in a vacuum, the speed is about 300,000,000 meters/second. Other waves, however, can have quite different speeds.
