wavelenghth


What is the wavelenghth of a sound wave?

from the top of one wave to the top of the next


Formula for wavelenghth?

Wave Speed multiplied by Wave Period = Wavelength


How is frequency and wavelenghth related?

The product of both is equal to the speed of the wave.


On the electromagnetic spectrum which wave has the longest wavelenghth and the lowest enegry?

Radio waves.


Mathematical relation between frequency and wavelenghth?

frequency = speed of light/wavelength


What is the wavelenghth of red light?

Red light has wavelengths in the range 622-780 nm.


How are wavelenghth and frequency of electromagnetic radiation related?

For any wave, (wavelength) times (frequency) = (speed of propagation).For electromagnetic waves, (wavelength) times (frequency) = (speed of 'light')


What is the relationship between energy and wave amplitude?

Not really much of a similaritiy there but FREQUENCY and energy there is. the higher the frequency the greater the energy I guess it could be the same with wavelenghth though


Why the analysis of light elements are difficult using X-ray Fluorescence?

For wavelenghth dispersive X-ray spectroscopy adequate crystals for light elements (with a higher wavelength) are more rare and good.


How do you calculate the speed of a radio wave if you know the wavelenghth and frequency?

The speed of every radio wave is 186,282 miles (299,792,458 meters) per second. When you multiply the frequency times the wavelength, that's the result. If it isn't, then you made a mistake somewhere.


In what ways are sound waves and electromagnetic waves similar?

they both have wavelenghth and have energy
