Wave Speed

Wave speed links the spatial and temporal characteristics of any periodic wave.

Formula

v = f * lambda

where *f* is the number of oscillations per second and *lambda* is the distance between successive crests. This relationship holds for sound waves, light, water waves, and all other periodic disturbances.

Exemplo Resolvido

A sound wave with frequency 440 Hz and wavelength 0.78 m.

  1. v = f * lambda
  2. v = 440 * 0.78
  3. v = 343.2 m/s
