Question

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

Answer 1

Velocity, time period and wave-length of a wave:

1. Velocity of a wave is the speed with which it travels in a medium.
2. Time period is the time taken by a particle oscillating to complete one full cycle of a wave.
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:

$v=\frac{1}{T}\times \lambda$

here, $$\begin{gathered} v=velocity \\ T=timeperiod \\ \lambda =wavelength \end{gathered}$$

Thus, the relationship between velocity, time period and wavelength is given by $v=\frac{1}{T}\times \lambda$.
