Question

Write the relationship between velocity, wavelength and frequency of a wave.

Answer 1

Velocity, frequency and wave-length of a wave:

1. Frequency is the number of waves passing through a fixed point at unit time.
2. Velocity of a wave is the speed with which it travels in a medium.
3. Wavelength is the distance between the particles oscillating at the same phase in a wave-form.
4. The relationship between all the above is given by:

$v=f\times \lambda$

here, $$\begin{gathered} v=velocity \\ f=frequency \\ \lambda =wavelength \end{gathered}$$

Thus, the relationship between velocity, time period and wavelength is given by $v=f\times \lambda$.
