 P1 Wave speed

Syllabus Summary Questions Answers

      

     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.
