Wave Speed

Physics: Cambridge International GCSE Supplement, topic 3.1.5

Test yourself on Wave Speed

  • What is the speed of a wave with a frequency of 50Hz and a wavelength of 5m?

  • What is the frequency of a wave with speed 3m/s and wavelength 6m?

  • If a measurement happened for 5 s and a wave's wavelength is 4 mm with a frequency of 2 kHz, what was the distance the measurement happened over?

  • What factors do we need to calculate the speed of a wave?
