Question

Define wave speed and frequency.

Answer 1

WAVE SPEED

1. Wave speed is defined as the speed at which a wave travels. It is related to wavelength, frequency and time period.
2. It is given by the formula $\mathrm{v}=\mathrm{f\lambda }$, Where v is the velocity of the wave, f is the frequency of the wave, andλ is the wavelength.

FREQUENCY

1. The number of oscillations per second is known as the frequency of oscillation.
2. Its unit is Hertz and is denoted by Hz.
3. The frequency of a wave in general means how frequently the particles of a medium vibrate when a wave moves through the medium.
