The wave equation says that a wave's is equal to its wavelength times its frequency?

Actually, the wave equation states that the speed of a wave is equal to its wavelength multiplied by its frequency. This equation is represented as v = λf, where v is the speed of the wave, λ is the wavelength, and f is the frequency.


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 relationship among frequency wavelength and wave speed speed?

Wave speed c = frequency f times wavelength lambdaFor a wave in air the speed of sound is c = 343 meters per second at 20 degrees Celsius.For a wave in vacuum the speed of light is c = 299 792 458 meters per second.frequency f = wave speed c divided by wavelength lambda.There is a useful calculator for converting wavelength to frequency and vice versa.Scroll down to related links and look at "Acoustic waves or sound waves in air".


If Two waves are traveling in the same medium with a speed of 340ms What is the difference in frequency of the waves if the one has a wavelength fo 5m and the other has a wavelength of 0.2m?

For a wavelengt lambda in air with the speed of sound of c = 340 meters per second the frequency f: f = c / lambda. A wavelength of 5 meters equals a frequency of 68 Hz. A wavelength of 0.2 meters equals a frequency of 1700 Hz. There is a useful calculator for converting wavelength to frequency and vice versa.

What is the formual for acceleration?

If the acceleration is constant.... The formula for velocity is v = v₀ + at For distance it is d = d₀ + v₀t + ½at² For velocity without time it is. v² = v₀² + 2ad For more details refer to the related link in the Related Links section below. The subject is called kinematics

Why you do velocity analysis?

velocity analysis is done to check the velocity of different links moving with respect to different links.


What does the electron have that gives it a wavelength and interference effects like light and sound?

Electrons, like light and sound, exhibit wave-particle duality. They have a property called quantum mechanical wavelength, defined by de Broglie's equation, that links their momentum with their wavelength. This wavelength is responsible for interference effects when electrons interact with each other or with other particles.

How do you write a program to find the kinetic energy in C?

The equation to find kinetic energy is based on knowing the mass and velocity of the object in question. Specifically, the equation is as follows:KE = ½ mv2In C, this equation can be specified as:v*v*m/2...since it's half of the mass multiplied by the square of the velocity.If you haven't written a C program before, see the related links for a solid C tutorial, or try a Web search for c tutorial. Also included in the related links are pages about kinetic energy formulae.

What does the planck's equation e equals h x nu state?

This equation shows that the energy of a photon is inversely proportional to its wavelength. E = Energy. h = The Planck constant. Think of it as a tiny, discrete packet of energy for most purposes. Nu (looks like v) = Spatial frequency of a wave. Nu is equal to 1/Wavelength (inversely proportional). The way to think of this is that wavelength is how many meters long the wave is. Meanwhile, Nu is how many waves you can fit into a meter. Eg: If the wave is half a meter long, you can fit 2 waves into a metre. (Nu = 1/0.5 = 2) If Nu is large, it means we can fit a lot of waves into our unit length (remember, big Nu = small wavelength and vice versa). What does this mean for our equation? It means when Nu is high, we have high energy (remember h is a positive constant). When Nu is low, we have low energy. In English, this means photons with smaller wavelength have higher energy than photons with larger wavelengths. This universally true, and extremely important.
