How do you calculate frequency (by wavespeed x wavelength?)
\[f=v \div \lambda \]
the lambda sign is the wavelength and the v is wvspd? Okay...and what is the wavespeed if the wavelength is 6 for example?
what is frequency? you need to know wavelength and frequencies to solve for wave speed (velocity).
Oh. F = cycles in given time . The way my science teacher did we didn't learn velocity .-.
sorry for confusing velocity id wavelength. f is the number of cycles but what is the number of cycles?

Example: A sound wave produced by a tuning fork travels with a speed of 342 m/s. It has a frequency of 1600 Hz. a) What is the wavelength of the sound wave? Solution: \[\lambda = v/f\] \[\lambda = 342 / 1600\] \[\lambda = 0.213 m \]
