You can measure a wave either by the physical distance between two similar points (wave length), or by how many similar points pass, in the period of one second. (cycles per second or Hertz)
The relationship between them depends on the speed on the wave through the medium in which they exist.
So for radio waves, they travel at the speed of light which is 300,000,000 metres per second.
To covert from one to the other simply divide 300,000,000 by the known number to give the vaue of the unknown.
eg. 200khz = 200,000 cycles per second. Divide 300,000,000 by 200,000
= 1500
which is in metres.
BBC radio 4 is on 200khz longwave which equals 1500metres.
When the wavelength of a wave gets higher the speed decreases. This is a studied in science.
You can see how the frequency of a wave changes as its wavelength changes by using the formula Velocity= wavelength x frequencyIf for example we are talking about the speed of light (Which does change) and the wavelength is reduced, then the frequency has to increase in order to balance out to the speed of light.Another way to view it is like this:The frequency of a wave changes with the wavelength by what happens to the wavelength. For instance, if the wavelength is doubled, the frequency is halved, and vise versa.
Speed of sound c is frequncy f times wavelength lambda. c = f times lambda Scroll down to related links and look at "Conversion: frequency f to wavelength lambda and wavelength to frequency".
High frequency.
Frequency.
(frequency) multiplied by (wavelength) = (speed of the wave)
No. They're related by the definitions of the wave's speed, wavelength, and frequency.
The product of (wavelength) x (frequency) is always equal to the wave's speed.
(Wavelength) x (Frequency) = (the Wave's Speed).
Frequency, speed, and wavelength are related through the formula: speed = frequency x wavelength. This means that as frequency increases, wavelength decreases to maintain a constant speed, and vice versa. This relationship is described by the wave equation, where the product of frequency and wavelength determines the speed at which a wave travels.
The equation that shows how wavelength is related to velocity and frequency is: wavelength = velocity / frequency. This equation is derived from the wave equation, which states that the speed of a wave is equal to its frequency multiplied by its wavelength.
velocity = frequency x wavelength
Frequency and wavelength are inversely related. This means that as the frequency of a wave increases, its wavelength decreases, and vice versa. This relationship is described by the formula: speed = frequency x wavelength.
The wavelength and frequency of any wave are inversely proportional. Neither of them is related to the wave's amplitude in any way.
frequency = speed of wave / wavelength so if speed is constant then frequency varies inversely with wavelength
Energy of light photons is related to frequency as Energy = h(Planck's constant)* frequency Frequency = velocity of wave / wavelength So energy = h * velocity of the wave / wavelength
Freq times Wavelength = speed of light. Amplitude in totally independent.
