Wave Frequency Calculator

Calculate the frequency of a wave using wave speed and wavelength.

Wave Frequency Calculation

Enter the wave speed and wavelength to calculate frequency.

Wave Frequency Calculator

Formula Used:

Frequency (\( f \)) is calculated using the formula:

\[ f = \frac{v}{\lambda} \]

Where:

  • \( f \): Frequency (Hz)
  • \( v \): Wave speed (m/s)
  • \( \lambda \): Wavelength (m)

Example: If wave speed \( v = 340 \) m/s and wavelength \( \lambda = 2 \) m, then:

\[ f = \frac{340}{2} = 170 \, \text{Hz} \]

Frequency is the number of wave cycles that pass a point per unit time and is inversely proportional to the wavelength.
