To calculate the wavelength of a wave, you can use the formula: wavelength = speed of the wave / frequency of the wave. The speed of the wave is usually the speed of light in a vacuum (3.00 x 10^8 m/s). The frequency of the wave can be found by counting the number of wave crests passing a point in one second.

How do you calculate a wave's frequency?

You can calculate a wave's frequency by dividing the speed of the wave by its wavelength. The formula is: frequency = speed of wave / wavelength.


What is a relationship between frequency and wavelength?

The issue is not frequency and wavelength, a relationship is the problem AM Wave length is longer, than FM Wave length. Shorter wave lengths have a tendency to be shorter in the pm. AM Wave lengths were used before FM wave lengths.


If this wave travels at 16 cms it's wavelenght would be?

To calculate the wavelength, you can use the formula: wavelength = speed of wave / frequency. However, to calculate the wavelength, we need to know the frequency of the wave in addition to the speed. If you provide the frequency of the wave, we can calculate the wavelength.


How to calculate the wave number in a given wave equation?

To calculate the wave number in a given wave equation, you can use the formula: wave number 2 / wavelength. The wave number represents the spatial frequency of the wave, and is measured in units of reciprocal length, such as radians per meter.


How to calculate the amplitude of a wave and what significance does it hold in wave analysis?

The amplitude of a wave is the maximum displacement of a wave from its rest position. To calculate the amplitude, measure the distance from the rest position to the peak of the wave. The amplitude is important in wave analysis because it represents the energy carried by the wave and affects the wave's intensity and strength.
