Wavelength given Frequency Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary
Formula Used
Wavelength = Velocity of Wave/Wave Frequency
λ = Vw/fw
This formula uses 3 Variables
Variables Used
Wavelength - (Measured in Meter) - Wavelength is the distance covered by the wave in one oscillation.
Velocity of Wave - (Measured in Meter per Second) - The Velocity of Wave is equal to the product of its wavelength and frequency (number of vibrations per second) and is independent of its intensity.
Wave Frequency - (Measured in Hertz) - Wave Frequency is number of waves that pass a fixed point in given amount of time. Wave frequency can be measured by counting number of crests of waves that pass the fixed point in given time period.
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
Velocity of Wave: 60 Meter per Second --> 60 Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Wave Frequency: 90 Hertz --> 90 Hertz No Conversion Required
STEP 2: Evaluate Formula
Substituting Input Values in Formula
λ = Vw/fw --> 60/90
Evaluating ... ...
λ = 0.666666666666667
STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit
0.666666666666667 Meter --> No Conversion Required
FINAL ANSWER
0.666666666666667 0.666667 Meter <-- Wavelength

FAQ

What is Wavelength given Frequency?
Wavelength given Frequency is the distance covered by the wave in one oscillation. Its SI Unit is meter and is represented as λ = Vw/fw or Wavelength = Velocity of Wave/Wave Frequency. The Velocity of Wave is equal to the product of its wavelength and frequency (number of vibrations per second) and is independent of its intensity & Wave Frequency is number of waves that pass a fixed point in given amount of time. Wave frequency can be measured by counting number of crests of waves that pass the fixed point in given time period.
How to calculate Wavelength given Frequency?
Wavelength given Frequency is the distance covered by the wave in one oscillation. Its SI Unit is meter is calculated using Wavelength = Velocity of Wave/Wave Frequency. To calculate Wavelength given Frequency, you need Velocity of Wave (Vw) & Wave Frequency (fw). With our tool, you need to enter the respective value for Velocity of Wave & Wave Frequency and hit the calculate button. You can also select the units (if any) for Input(s) and the Output as well.
How many ways are there to calculate Wavelength?
In this formula, Wavelength uses Velocity of Wave & Wave Frequency. We can use 6 other way(s) to calculate the same, which is/are as follows -
