position
Wavelength () is
the minimum
distance between
two points that
have the same
displacement. The
unit is in metres
(m)
Frequency (f) is the
number of complete
wave that passes
through a given
point in one second.
The unit is in hertz
(Hz)
The sound waves of the first tuning fork causes the second
fork to vibrate

Longitudinal wave
Example 1:
Find the velocity of a wave with a
wavelength 2.5 m and frequency 44 Hz.
Solution
v=f
= 44 x 2.5
= 110 ms-1
Example 2:
The FM band of a radio has a frequency of
100 MHz. Find the wavelength of an FM
wave if the velocity of the electromagnetic
wave is 3 x 108 ms-1.
Solution
=v
f
= _3 x 108
100 x 106
=3m
