What is the unit for wavenumber and how is it defined in the context of wave properties?
The unit for wavenumber is reciprocal meters (m-1). Wavenumber is defined as the number of waves that exist in a unit distance along the direction of propagation of the wave. It is used to describe the spatial frequency of a wave.
How does increasing the wave speed affect the frequencey?
Increasing the wave speed will not affect the frequency of the wave. The frequency of a wave is determined by the source of the wave and will remain constant regardless of the wave speed.
What Angstrom unit used to describe a light wave?
The Angstrom unit is typically used to describe the wavelength of light waves. One Angstrom is equal to 10^-10 meters or 0.1 nanometers. It is commonly used in the field of spectroscopy and optics to measure the electromagnetic spectrum of light.
What three quantities are used to describe a wave?
The three quantities used to describe a wave are wavelength (distance between two consecutive points in a wave that are in phase), amplitude (maximum displacement of a wave from its equilibrium position), and frequency (number of complete waves passing a point per unit time).
Two ways to determine wave speed?
you can determine it by the wavelenght and the period of the wave and the frequencey
What is the frequencey of a wave with the speed of 10 and wavelength 20?
Frequency = (speed)/(wavelength) = 10/20 = 1/2
What is dopper effect?
The Doppler effect is a change of the frequencey of a wave, due to relative movement between source and observer.
What is the name for the unit used to measure the energy of an electromagnetic wave?
The unit used to measure the energy of an electromagnetic wave is called a photon.
Identify 3 characteristics that can be used to describe a wave?
Three characteristics of a wave are wavelength (distance between two consecutive points in a wave that are in phase), amplitude (maximum displacement of a wave from its equilibrium position), and frequency (number of complete oscillations a wave undergoes in a unit of time).
What unit is used to express the frequency of a wave?
The unit used to express the frequency of a wave is Hertz (Hz). It represents the number of complete cycles or oscillations of a wave that occur in one second.
What is the unit used to measure the period of a wave?
Seconds
What wave characteristic has the unit hertz?
The unit hertz (Hz) is used to measure the frequency of a wave, which represents the number of cycles or oscillations of a wave that occur in one second.
