Wave Properties: Speed, Frequency, and Wavelength — Homework
Decide which of v, f, and lambda is unknown before rearranging the wave equation.
- 1.A sound wave travels at 340 m/s with a frequency of 170 Hz. Find its wavelength.
- 2.A low bass note has a frequency of 20 Hz in air (v=340 m/s). Find its wavelength.
- 3.A wave has a wavelength of 0.5 m in a medium where its speed is 340 m/s. Find its frequency.
- 4.Explain why doubling a wave's frequency in the same medium causes its wavelength to be cut in half.
- 5.Describe a real wave example (radio, WiFi, a musical instrument) and explain the relationship between its frequency and wavelength.
