Velocity
SI UNIT
EXAMPLE: A wave has a frequency of 50Hz and the speed is 10m/s. What is the wavelength?
1. The frequency of a wave is 40Hz. The speed of a wave is 100m/s. What is the wavelength of this wave?
2. The wavelength of a wave is 50 cm. The frequency is 100Hz. What is the speed of this wave?
3. The frequency of wave A is 250Hz and the wavelength is 30cm. The frequency of wave B is 260Hz and
the wavelength is 25cm. Which is the faster wave?
4. If one increases frequency, what must happen to the wavelength in order for the velocity of the wave to
stay constant
