Q
How do you calculate frequency?
A
Frequency = 1/time period (seconds)
2
Q
What is the law of reflection?
A
Angle of incidence = angle of reflection
3
Q
How do you calculate the refractive index?
A
n = sin i / sin r
4
Q
How do you calculate total internal reflection?
A
n = 1 / sin c
5
Q
How do you calculate wave speed?
A
Wave speed = frequency x wavelength
