1 What we will do today: Carry out calculations involving the relationship between speed, wavelength and frequency for waves.

2 Speed, frequency & wavelength
Are all related by the following equation: Wave speed = frequency x wavelength v = f λ v (m/s) f (Hz) λ (m)

3 Water & Sound Wave Examples
v = f λ

4 Example 1 v = ? f = 1700 Hz λ = 20 cm

5 Example 2 v = 340 m/s f = 5 kHz λ = ?

6 Light, Radio & TV Wave Examples (all travel at v = 3 x 108 m/s)
v = f λ

7 Example 1 v = 3x108 m/s f = 100 MHz λ = ?

8 Example 2 v = 3x108 m/s λ = 6.5 x 10-7 m f = ?
