Symbol: v
Unit: m/s
Calculation: v= distance traveled/time]]> 2019-04-29 18:50:58 UTC https://padlet.com/andreas_damianides/4v9xr9y7acjp/wish/355170135 Wave Equation andreas_damianides https://padlet.com/andreas_damianides/4v9xr9y7acjp/wish/355171122 Wave speed is product of wavelength and frequency.
BUT, frequency and wavelength are inversely proportional
This means, increase frequency causes decrease in wavelength
Frequency DOES NOT effect wave speed

Calculation: total time/# of waves
Unit: seconds

Frequency: Amount of waves per second
Calculation: # of waves / total time
Unit: Hz
