How do you calculate the speed of a wave?

you find out a waves speed by taking the wavelength and divide it by it's wave period or how long it takes for the wave to complete a full wavelength. This is what my textbook said. Speed=Wavelength ×Frequency


You can determine the velocity of a wave when given the frequency and the?

You can use the equation v=fw. that is velocity (in meters per second) equals the frequency (in hertz) times the wavelength (in meters). so you can find the velocity of a wave with the frequency and the wavelength.


What is the frequency of a wave that has a wavelength of 20 cm and a speed of 10 ms?

Convert the cm to meters, to have compatible units. Then use the fact that the frequency times the wavelength is equal to the speed of the wave. In this case, you can divide the speed by the wavelength, to get the frequency.


What is the wavelength of a light of frequency 6.42 and times 1014 Hz?

The wavelength can be calculated using the formula: wavelength = speed of light / frequency. Given that the speed of light is approximately 3.00 x 10^8 m/s, the wavelength of light with a frequency of 6.42 x 10^14 Hz would be approximately 467.36 nanometers.


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.

Relationship between frequency velocity and wavelength?

Wavelength = (speed) divided by (frequency) Frequency = (speed) divided by (wavelength) Speed = (frequency) times (wavelength)


If wavelength is multiplied by frequency what is the answer?

Wavelength times frequency gives the speed of the wave.

What is the frequency in hertz and the energy in joules of an x-ray photon with a wavelength of 2.32 Å?

For the frequency, first convert the wavelength to meters (divide the number of Angstroms by 1010), then use the formula: wavelength x frequency = speed. Using the speed of light in this case. Solving for frequency: frequency = speed / wavelength. To get the photon's energy, multiply the frequency times Planck's constant, which is 6.63 x 10-34 (joules times seconds).


What formula relates speed wavelength and frequency-?

The speed is the product of wavelength and frequency.


How could you find the wavelength of light if you knew it's speed and frequency?

Wavelength times frequency is the speed. To know the wavelength, you have to divide the speed by the frequency of the light.


Are frequency and wavelength related?

Yes, velocity equals the product of frequency times wavelength, v=fw.


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')
