The distance between successive identical parts of a wave is called the wave length.


How do you calculate wavelength from wavenumber?

Wave number=1/Wavelength=> Wavelength= 1/wave number


How do wavelength and periods relate?

Wavelength*Frequency = Velocity of the wave. or Wavelength/Period = Velocity of the wave.


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


How do you find the wavelength of a wave?

To get the wavelength of a wave simply divide the wavespeed with its frequency.


How does wave speed relate to wavelength and period?

What happens to the wavelength of a wave when the frequency of a wave is doubled but the wave speed stays the same?

Wavelength is halved.


What is the correlation between wavelengths and frequency?

Wavelength = wave speed/frequency Frequency = wave speed/wavelength (Wavelength) x (Frequency) = Wave speed
