Wave Calculations

Worksheet

Velocity = Wavelength x Frequency

so.... Wavelength = Velocity/Frequency

and .... Frequency = Velocity/Wavelength

Units: Velocity (m/s), Wavelength (m), Frequency (hertz)

Wave Calculations

Answer KEY

Velocity = Wavelength x Frequency

so.... Wavelength = Velocity/Frequency

and .... Frequency = Velocity/Wavelength

Units: Velocity (m/s), Wavelength (m), Frequency (hertz)

For the given values, find the missing value for the velocity, wavelength or frequency of the waves. Show your work on the back of this page or next to the problems.

1. Velocity = 75 m/s

Wavelength = .5 m

Frequency = 150 hertz

2. Velocity = 600 m/s

Wavelength = 2.0 m

Frequency = 300 hertz

3. Velocity = 320 m/s

Wavelength = 80 m

Frequency = 4 hertz

4. Velocity = 252 m/s

Wavelength = 1.2 m

Frequency = 210 hertz

5. Velocity = 360 m/s

Wavelength = 3.0 m

Frequency = 120 hertz

6. Velocity = 12 m/s

Wavelength = .02 m

Frequency = 600 hertz

7. Velocity = 190 m/s

Wavelength = 1.1875 m

Frequency = 160 hertz

8. Velocity = 110 m/s

Wavelength = 0.367 m

Frequency = 300 hertz

9. Velocity = 294 m/s

Wavelength = 4.2 m

Frequency = 70 hertz

10. Velocity = 65 m/s

Wavelength = 6.5 m

Frequency = 10 hertz
