Waves

Wave Speed

Waves are moung objects this means they have a speed. The speed of a wave is the kistance travelled in 1 second

• We can calculate the speed of waves using the Following equation.

Distance,

Speed, meters per

V=d

meters (m)

second. (ms-l)

Time, s

for example:

If a wave travis 100 meters in 4 seconds, cakulate it's speed.

100÷4=25

1• 150÷2.5:60

2.30x3.2-96m

3.500:20=255

4.340×20=6800 m

5.1000m÷1500=073

26a5=40÷5=8m5'

6.5=4÷0.2=20m5'

C1=1700-340:55

d-T = 2÷5=0.45

  1. D=340x8=2720m

  2. D= 2x10=20m
