What is formula for calculating wavelength |
| Answer» Wavelength is the distance between the crests of a wave. Many different things can move like waves, like strings, water, the air (sound waves), the ground (earthquakes), and light can be treated as a wave. Wavelength is represented with the Greek letter lambda: λ. It is equal to the velocity of the wave, divided by the frequency. Wavelength is expressed in units of meters (m).{tex}Wavelength= {wave \\ veloctiy\\over frequency}{/tex}{tex}\\lambda = {v\\over f}{/tex}\xa0λ = wavelength, the distance between wave crests (m)v = wave velocity, the speed that waves are moving in a direction (m/s)f = frequency, the wave crests that go through a point in a certain time (cycles/s or Hz) | |
