The formula for wavelength λ = v/f
where v is the velocity
f is the frequency of the wave
and λ (lambda) is the symbol for wavelength
Wavelength formulaC=λf or λ=C/f
media speed c = frequency f times wavelength lambda. So wavelength lambda = c / f. Media can be sound waves in air or electromagnetic waves or light waves in vacuum.
For an electromagnetic wave, its velocity is approx 3 x 108 meters/sec, precisely in a vacuum it is 2.99792458 m/sec, but 3 x 108 is adequate for most purposes, call this C. Then frequency x wavelength = C, so wavelength = C/frequency. Thus for visible light, the frequency is around 5 x 1014/sec, so the wavelength is around 6 x 10-7 meters or 600 nanometers as it is usually quoted.
Wavelength= the distance between successive identical parts of the wave(in meters)
Ex. from crest to identical position in next crest.
Wavelength is speed of transmission through the medium (usually speed of light) divided by frequency. For example, at the speed of light (3x108 meters per second), a 100MHz radio wave will have a wavelength of 3 meters, while a 1MHz radio wave will have a wavelength of 300 meters.
velocity=frequency×wavelength
therefore wavelength= velocity ÷ frequency
Wavelength (metres per cycle) = Velocity (metres per second) / frequency (cycles per second)
lambda = c / f
lamdba = wavelength
c = speed of light
f = frequency
wavelength = speed of the wave / frequency
Wavelength = (speed) divided by (frequency)
Its V=fl
where V = velocity of light (3x10^8 ms^-1)
f = frequency of wave
l = wavelength
Radar has the longer wavelength.
-- longest wavelength -- lowest frequency
Alexis says ; The wavelength decreases.
The wavelength gets longer.
The color red has the longest wavelength of any color.
They are inversely related
For a single wave: Speed = (frequency) x (wavelength) Frequency = (speed) / (wavelength) Wavelength = (speed) / (frequency)
There are probably several equations that involve wavelength. One that is quite common is:speed = wavelength x frequency
they are related by the equation velocity=frequency*wavelength
Frequency = Wave speed / Wavelength.
Energy E=hf=hc/w where w is the wavelength.
velocity = frequency multiply wavelength Rearrange the equation to find the frequency
Frequency divided by 300 equals Wavelength
Speed(v) = wavelength(λ) x frequency(f).
Wave speed wavelength times frequency.
the answer and not the equation is 171.5 hz
