Formulas Flashcards
1
Q
What is the formula for calculating the speed of waves
A
V = f x /~
Wave speed = frequency x wavelength
2
Q
What is the formula for calculating the frequency
A
F = v/ /~ Frequency = wave speed divided by wave length
3
Q
What is the formula for calculating the wavelength
A
/~ = v/f Wavelength = wave speed divided by frequency
4
Q
Speed of sound in air
A
Speed (v) m/s = distance(s) m divided by time (t) seconds s
5
Q
Formula for calculating frequency without wave speed or wavelength
A
F = 1/ T~ Frequency = 1 / time period ( the time it taken for one cycle/wavelength
6
Q
Formula for time period
A
T~ = 1/f
Time period = 1/ frequency
