What is the formula for the velocity of waves

and the other formula is

v = f*⋌

where,

v → Velocity of the wave

f → Frequency

⋌ → Wavelength

<p>and the other formula is </p><p>v = f*⋌</p><p>where, </p><p>v → Velocity of the wave</p><p>f → Frequency</p><p>⋌ → Wavelength</p>

New cards

What is frequency? what does it depend upon?

The number of complete cycles or oscillations a wave (or object) makes in one second. It only depends upon the source.
