Explore how amplitude, frequency and wavelength affect a travelling wave
Wave speed
2.0 m/s
v = f × λ
Frequency
1.0 Hz
waves per second
Wavelength
2.0 m
metres per wave
Try this:
Increase frequency while keeping wavelength constant — what happens to wave speed?
Now increase wavelength while keeping frequency constant — what happens to wave speed?
This shows that wave speed depends on both frequency and wavelength.
