Relation Between Wave Velocity, Frequency, and Wave Length for a Periodic Wave
or ...(1) since equation (1) can also be written as v = ν λ ...(2) Wave Velocity = Frequency × Wave Length
Example : 1 If 50 waves are produced in 2 seconds, what is its frequency ? Solution. Frequency, = 50/2 = 25 Hz Example : 2 A source produce 50 crests and 50 troughs in 0.5 second. Find the frequency. Solution. 1 crest and 1 trough = 1 wave ∴ 50 crests and 50 troughs = 50 waves Now, Frequency,
