Wave Calculations

To find wave speed… S (Wave speed) = λ(wavelength) x f (frequency) Example: How fast is a wave traveling that has a wavelength of 5m and a frequency of 20 Hz? 100 m/s

To find wavelength… λ (Wavelength) = S (wave speed) / f (frequency) Ex: A wave on a certain banjo string travels at a speed of 200 m/s. Calculate the wavelength a note sounding at a frequency of 440 Hz. 0.45 m

To find frequency… f (Frequency) = S (wave speed) / λ (wavelength) Example: If a wave has a wavelength of 6.2 meters and is travelling at 610 m/s, what is its frequency? 98.4 Hz
