I believe there isn't enough information. In other cases you can use the relationship frequence x wavelength = speed (of the wave), but you need two of these pieces of information to find the third.

How are the frequency and the wavelength of a light wave related?

c = lambda times f f = c / lambda Scroll down to related links and look at "Conversion: frequency f to wavelength lambda and wavelength to frequency".


What is the frequency of an EM wave that has a wavelength of 1 mm?

The frequency of an electromagnetic wave with a wavelength of 1 mm is 300 GHz. This is calculated using the formula: frequency = speed of light / wavelength. Substituting the values in gives us 300 GHz.


What is the frequency of a blue light with a wave length of 469 nanometers?

Frequency is in cycles per unit time Wavelength is in length per cycle To convert between the two you need the speed of the wave - which for light is the speed of light - which is given in length per unit time Frequency = Speed of light/Wavelength For a wavelength of 469 nanometers Frequency is 639 Terahertz (THz) or 639,000 Gigahertz (GHz) ... rounded to 3 significant digits since the wavelength is only given to 3 significant digits


What is the wave's speed for a wavelength of 5 meters?

The speed of a wave is determined by the equation: speed = frequency x wavelength. Without the frequency, it is not possible to calculate the wave's speed using only the wavelength provided.


Does the frequency or wavelength of the wave affect its speed?

The speed of a wave depends only on the mechanical or electrical characteristics of the medium or environment through which the wave propagates. It doesn't depend on the wave's frequency or wavelength.

How do you find velocity when only the frequency is given?

The question is incomplete. Frequency of what? If it refers to electromagnetic waves, you won't need even frequency to determine velocity (in a vacuum), because it will always be c (the speed of light). You can compute the speed of other kinds of waves if you know the frequency and wavelength, but not from frequency alone. The formula is frequency x wavelength = velocity If the waves are electromagnetic, and you have only frequency, you can compute the wavelength using the same formula.


What speed radio wave with frequency 1000Hz?

All radio waves travel at light velocity ( 2.998 * 108 m / s)The relavant equation involved is:Velocity (fixed) = wavelength * frequencySo, with frequency given and velocity fixed, only wavelength remains to find.(2.998 * 108) = wavelength * 1000So:wavelength = (2.998 * 108) / 1000= 2.998 * 105 metres


The string of a piano that produces the note middle C vibrates with a frequency of 262 Hz. If the sound waves produced by this string have a wavelength in air of 1.30 m what is the sound waves?

Question is to be corrected as to find the velocity of the sound waves Formula for velocity of the wave = frequency x wavelength Given frequency = 262 Hz and wavelength = 1.3 m So velocity = 262 x 1.3 = 340.6 m/s

How do you find the frequency and frequency density on a histogram when you are only given the class width?

To calculate the frequency density we will simply divide the frequency by the class width.

Why is the wavelength of light multiplied by the frequency of light is equal to the speed of light?

v=fλ (velocity (m/s)=frequency (s^-1) * wavelength (m)When dealing with light v=hf is also useful (same derivation as for above), where h is the Planck constant.

What will the result be when this happens Velocity of a wave increases and the wavelength stays the same?

This is not true practically. Theoretically speaking as velocity increases with wavelength remains constant, then frequency has to increase accordingly. Since the formula for velocity is given as: velocity of the wave v = frequency (nu) * wavelength (lamda). In reality the characteristic, namely, frequency remains constant when the speed of the wave changes as it traverses in different medium.


Cant the frequency of 2 waves with different wave lengths be equal?

Only if their speeds are different.(Wavelength) multiplied by (frequency) = speed of the waveIf the speeds are the same, then different wavelength means different frequency.
