New cards

Wave speed equation (using frequency)

v = f * λ (Wave speed = frequency × wavelength)

2
New cards

Wave speed equation (using time period)

v = λ / T (Wave speed = wavelength ÷ time period)

3
New cards

Frequency equation (from time period)

f = 1 / T (Frequency = 1 ÷ time period)

4
New cards

Time period equation (from frequency)

T = 1 / f (Time period = 1 ÷ frequency)

5
New cards

Law of reflection

i = r (Angle of incidence = angle of reflection)

6
New cards

Refractive index (Snell's Law)

n = sin(i) / sin(r) (Refractive index = sin of incidence ÷ sin of refraction)

7
New cards

Refractive index (using speed of light)

n = c / v (Refractive index = speed of light in vacuum ÷ speed of light in medium)

8
New cards

Critical angle equation

sin(c) = 1 / n (Sin of critical angle = 1 ÷ refractive index)
