Frequency (f)1.00 Hz
Wavelength (λ)10.00 m
Period (T)1.00 s

Parameters

Wave Speed (v)10 m/s

Wave Equation

v: Wave speed (constant in a medium)

f: Frequency (controlled by source)

λ: Wavelength (result of v and f)

Wave Types

Transverse: Particle vibration is perpendicular to wave propagation (e.g. light on a string).

Longitudinal: Particle vibration is parallel to wave propagation (e.g. sound in air).

Tip: Follow the pink particles!
