Wave Speed And The Wave Equation Flashcards
1
Q
Define the meaning of “Frequency”
A
Is the number of waves passing a point in one second. It is measured in Hertz (Hz).
Or
Frequency=number of waves past a point.
2
Q
What is the equation for Wave speed
A
Wave Speed=frequency x wavelength .
3
Q
What unit is wave speed measured in?
A
It is measured in metres per second (m/s).
4
Q
What unit is frequency measured in?
A
It is measured in Hertz (Hz).
5
Q
What unit is Wavelength measured in?
A
It is measured in metres (m).
6
Q
How would you find how many waves pass a point ?
A
Wave Speed divided by Wavelength.
7
Q
How would you figure out the Wavelength?
A
Wave Speed divided by Frequency
