Light from the Sun travels 150 millions km to Earth in 8 minutes with a speed of about 300 millions m/s.
P1 Wave speed
1. Write the formula of wave speed.
2. Which of these equations are correct:
speed = frequency ÷ wavelength
wavelength = speed ÷ frequency
frequency = speed ÷ wavelength
speed = wavelength ÷ frequency
3. Calculate the speed of sound wave that has a wavelength of 16.5 m and a frequency of 20 Hz.
4. Higher tier only:
Calculate the frequency of the radio wave that has a wavelength of 1500 km and travels at
300 000 000 m/s.
