Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFThe distance traveled by an electromagnetic wave in one second is called wave speed or wave velocity.
Additional Information
Wavelength(λ):
- The wavelength of a wave is the distance between successive crests of a continuous wave. The SI unit for wavelength is meters (m).
Frequency(f):
- The frequency of a wave is the measure of how many cycles of the wave completes every second. The SI unit of frequency is hertz (Hz).
Wave Speed Equation:
- The equation that calculates the speed, of a wave given its wavelength and frequency is:
Speed(v) = Wavelength(λ) x Frequency(f)
Period(T):
- The time taken by the wave to complete one oscillation. SI Unit of time period is seconds.
Amplitude:
- The maximum displacement of the wave from its mean or equilibrium position is called the amplitude of the wave.
