You can find everything you’re looking for in PDF format in one place through Vedantu. In the PDFs, which are also downloadable for free, students can go through concepts of wavelength and Frequency, their Definitions, relationship,…

Example 1: A typical sound wave traveling at 360 m/s has a frequency of 1200 Hz. Find its wavelength. Solution: ν� = 1200 Hz, v = 360 m/s, λ�=? λ=vν=3601200=0.3m�=��=3601200=0.3� Example 2: All electromagnetic waves travel through a vacuum at the same speed. If a wave of frequency 7.5 GHz has a wavelength of 4…

The wavelength of a wave is inversely proportional to its frequency. If v represents the velocity of a wave,  its frequency f, and its wavelength λ�, then;  λ=vf�=�� This means, as wavelength increases, the frequency will decrease and vice versa. In the case of light in a vacuum, this formula is given as λ�=cν 

Wavelength and frequency are two important characteristics to explain the nature of a wave. Wavelength is basically the measure of the distance between two successive points referred to as crests or troughs of a wave. It is always measured in the direction of the wave and is represented by the symbol λ�. Since it is…
