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.
you can either measure it or calculate it using a formule if you know the speed and and frequency(or Period) of the wave.
Measure: measure from one spot and go along the wave until you find a spot that has exactly the same value as the previous one and the length is the wavelength.
Formula: wavelength=speed/frequency or speed X Period
I think,
wavelength= wavespeed ÷ frequency.
:)
To get the wavelength of a wave simply divide the wavespeed with its frequency.
wave length = wave speed divided by its frequency
v=fλ where f is the frequency, and λ is the wavelength
A wavelength doesn't have energy. The wave does. The details depend on the type of wave. Assuming an electromagnetic wave, you have to multiply the frequency by Plank's constant. To find the frequency, divide the speed of the wave by the wavelength.
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
Period = Wavelength / Velocity
Wavelength = velocity / frequency
Multiply its frequency by its wavelength.
Type Answer here.........
Wave Length. Abbr. WL (:
Frequency = (wave speed) divided by (wavelength)Wavelength = (wave speed) divided by (frequency)Wave speed = (frequency) multiplied by (wavelength)
The wave speed equation proposes that: v = fw; where "v" is the wave's velocity, "f" is the wave's frequency, and "w" (more notably used as lambda) is the wave's wavelength. Manipulating the equation and solving for wavelength yields: w = v/f. Thus, if one knows both the velocity and frequency of a wave, he/she can divide velocity by frequency to determine the corresponding wave's wavelength.
