Wave Characteristics: Amplitude, Wavelength, Frequency, Speed
Students will define and relate wave characteristics and apply the wave equation (v = fλ).
Key Questions
- Explain how the speed of a wave is determined by its frequency and wavelength.
- Analyze how changing one wave characteristic affects others while keeping speed constant.
- Predict the wavelength of a sound wave given its frequency and speed in a medium.
