Two ways to determine wave speed?
you can determine it by the wavelenght and the period of the wave and the frequencey
How does frequencey relate to wavelength?
Frequency = (wave speed) divided by (wavelength)Wavelength = (wave speed) divided by (frequency)Wave speed = (frequency) multiplied by (wavelength)
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 unit used to measure the period of a wave?
Seconds
What unit is used to express the frequency of a wave?
hertz
Calculate the wavelenght of a radio wave whose frequencey is 900 kHZ v 3.00 10 m s?
The length of a radio wave at 900 kHz is 3331/3 meters, or about 1093.6 feet.
What is a peeling wave?
Usally used to describe a nicely breaking wave, with it peeling down the line instead of dumping.
What are ways to describe a wave?
Waves can be described by:frequency/periodspeedintensitywavelengthamplitudepressureshapedecibelsHertzphonssonesmelsIf you are looking for adjectives that can be used to illustrate or depict a wave, I suggest you ask another question with the type of wave you're looking to describe (soundwave, ocean wave, Miss America's wave, wave of emotion, waves in my hair, a sway, radio wave, light wave, electromagnetic wave, etc.)
Is a transverse wave longitudinal?
No. Those two different adjectives are used to describe two different mechanisms of wave motion.
What three quantities are used to describe a wave?
Amplitude, speed, and wavelength or frequency. (Wavelength and frequency are related by the wave's speed.)
What is a way to describe the wavelength of a wave?
The wavelength is the distance from crest to crest, or trough to trough, of a cyclic wave. It can be calculated from the number of waves within a unit length, and is the inverse of the frequency, which represents the number of waves for a unit time (usually waves/second or Hertz).
