What dose wavelenght measure?
Distance from one crest to the next crest of a wave.
What equation is used to measure wave speed?
speed= frequency x wavelength
What measure the distance from one trough to the next trough of a wave?
Wave length..
What determine the color of a light wave?
Its wavelength (or frequency).
How do you measure wavelength on a transverse wave?
1 wavelength in a transverse wave is equal too the distance between crest and crest or trough and trough
What dose wavelenght measure?
Distance from one crest to the next crest of a wave.
What equation is used to measure wave speed?
speed= frequency x wavelength
How do you measure the speed of the wave?
To measure the speed of a wave, you multiply the frequency by the wavelength.
How do you find wavelength of a wave?
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.

What is the equation used to find the speed of a wave?
Here is an equation that relates three quantities of any wave: speed = frequency x wavelength. However, I am pretty sure that usually, you'll have to somehow measure the speed of the wave, instead of calculating it. In other words, you would measure the speed and the frequency, and then use the formula to calculate the wavelength; or measure the speed and wavelength, and use the formula to calculate the frequency.
The main difference between a radio wave and a light wave is its?
Wavelength.
If you use an oscilloscope to measure the distance between crests of a soundwave what property of the wave are you measuring?
You are measuring wavelength or frequency , which may also be used to determine the amount of energy a wave has because in light waves the higher the frequency the more energy the wave carries
Do wavelength measure from the top of one wave to the top of another wave?
Yes. To be precise, the wavelength is the length of one precise cycle, and one way to measure that is from top to top.
What does the wavelength of the wave measure?
The distance between two adjacent wave peaks (or troughs).
