Question

What is the relation between wavelength and velocity

Answer 1

Answer:

Wavelength is the measure of the length of a complete wave cycle. The velocity of a wave is the distance travelled by a point on the wave. In general, for any wave the relation between Velocity and Wavelength is proportionate. It is expressed through the wave velocity formula.

Explanation:

Where,

V is the velocity of the wave measure using m/s.

f is the frequency of the wave measured using Hz.

λ is the wavelength of the wave measured using m.

V∝λ

Example:

For a constant frequency, If the wavelength is doubled. The velocity of the wave will also double.

For a constant frequency, If the wavelength is made four times. The velocity of the wave will also be increased by four times.

Hope you understood the relation between wavelength and velocity of a wave.
