Wave Frequency Calculator
Understanding Wave Frequency
Wave frequency (f) measures how many wave cycles pass a fixed point per second. It's calculated using the formula:
f = v / λ
Where:
- • f = frequency (Hz)
- • v = wave velocity (m/s)
- • λ = wavelength (m)
Common Applications
- • Sound waves: Determine pitch (20 Hz - 20 kHz)
- • Radio waves: Communications (kHz - MHz)
- • Light waves: Color spectrum (THz range)
- • Electromagnetic waves: Various applications
