Wavelength vs Wave Speed

Fórmula

Wavelength is the spatial distance between two consecutive points of equal phase on a wave.

lambda = v / f

Longer wavelengths correspond to lower frequencies when speed is constant.

Concert A note (440 Hz) in air at 343 m/s.

What is the wavelength of visible light?

Visible light ranges from about 380 nm (violet) to 700 nm (red).

How does wavelength change when a wave enters a denser medium?

The wavelength decreases because the wave slows down while frequency remains constant.

What is the wavelength of a typical FM radio signal?

FM radio broadcasts around 100 MHz, giving a wavelength of about 3 meters.
