A wave equation is an equation that repeats y-values infinately creating a wave like pattern, a good example is the sine wave: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sine_wave

The wave equation says that a waves speed is equal to its wavelength times its what?

frequency for apex learners not speed :)


What is the equation used to find the speed of a wave?

Here is an equation that relates three quantities of any wave: speed = frequency x wavelength. However, I am pretty sure that usually, you'll have to somehow measure the speed of the wave, instead of calculating it. In other words, you would measure the speed and the frequency, and then use the formula to calculate the wavelength; or measure the speed and wavelength, and use the formula to calculate the frequency.


What is wave length times frequency?

The product of wavelength and frequency is the speed of the wave, which is a constant value for a specific medium, such as the speed of light in a vacuum. The equation that relates wavelength, frequency, and speed is: speed = wavelength * frequency.


The energy of a photon is related to its?

The energy of a photon is related to its frequency or wavelength through the equation E=hf, where E is energy, h is Planck's constant, and f is frequency. Alternatively, you can use the equation E=hc/λ, where λ is the wavelength and c is the speed of light.


What is the relationship between wavespeed wavelength and frequency?

The wave speed is directly proportional to both the wavelength and frequency of a wave. This relationship is described by the equation speed = frequency × wavelength. In other words, as the frequency or wavelength of a wave increases, the wave speed will also increase.

The wave equation says that a waves speed is equal to its time its frequency?

The speed or velocity of a wave is equal to the wavelength times the frequency. The period (amount of time for one wavelength to occur) is equal to 1 over the frequency (the inverse of its frequency).

Does the frequency is inversely proportional to wavelength?

Yes, frequency and wavelength are inversely proportional to each other. This means that as the frequency of a wave increases, its wavelength decreases, and vice versa. This relationship is expressed by the equation: speed = frequency x wavelength, where speed is constant for a given medium.


The wave question says that a wave speed is equal to its wavelength times its?

Frequency.


What kind of wavelength does a wave have with a high frequency?

The product of (frequency) times (wavelength) is always the same number ... it's the speed of the wave. So if the frequency increases, the wavelength must decrease, to keep the product constant.
