The formula to calculate the speed of a wave is:
\[ \text{S} = \text{F} \times \lambda \]
Where:
Wave speed is the distance a wave travels per unit of time. It is a fundamental property of waves that depends on the medium through which the wave is traveling. In a vacuum, all electromagnetic waves (including light) travel at a constant speed, which is approximately 299,792,458 meters per second. In other media, the speed can vary depending on the frequency and wavelength of the wave, as well as the properties of the medium.
Let's assume the following values:
Using the formula:
\[ \text{S} = 500 \times 2 = 1000 \, \text{m/s} \]
The wave speed is 1000 m/s.
Let's assume the following values:
Using the formula:
\[ \text{S} = 1000 \times 0.5 = 500 \, \text{m/s} \]
The wave speed is 500 m/s.
