Question
Download Solution PDFThe velocity of a wave is 'v', frequency 'f', and wavelength 'λ' is ______?
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFThe correct answer is v = fλ.
- The wave velocity and the wavelength are related to the wave's frequency and period by vw=λT or vw=fλ.
- The time for one complete wave cycle is the period T.
- The number of waves per unit time is the frequency ƒ.
- The wave frequency and the period are inversely related to one another.
Additional Information
- Wavelength is the measure of the length of a complete wave cycle. The velocity of a wave is the distance traveled by a point on the wave.
- The velocity of light, v, is the product of its wavelength, λ, and its frequency, f.
- This means that the wavelength is the velocity, v, divided by the frequency, f.
- In the electromagnetic spectrum, there are many different types of waves with varying frequencies and wavelengths.
- They are all related by one important equation: Any electromagnetic wave's frequency multiplied by its wavelength equals the speed of light.
