Lesson outcome
I can calculate the speed, frequency or wavelength of a wave using the wave equation.
Show transcript
The speed of wave can be caluated using wave speed = frequency × wavelength.
The speed of a wave can be caluated using wave speed = distance ÷ time.
The choice of equation to use to caluate wave speed depends on the information provided in the question.
Prefixes can be used with units to show very large or very small values.
The frequency of a wave does not change as it crosses a boundary from one wave medium into another.
