Understanding Waves: Frequency, Speed, and Wavelength Explained

🌊 Wave frequency is the rate at which something occurs, measured in cycles per second or waves per second.

⏱️ One hertz is equal to one cycle per second, indicating the number of waves that happen over a specific time.

🌐 A cycle can be measured from a point on one wave to the same point on another wave, such as from crest to crest or trough to trough.

Frequency of a wave is determined by the number of cycles per second.

The formula to calculate frequency is the number of waves divided by the number of seconds.

Frequency can be calculated even for partial waves.

🌊 The frequency of a wave is determined by the source of the wave.

⏩ Increasing the frequency of a wave does not change the speed at which it travels.

🔄 Higher frequency results in more waves per second, but the speed of the waves remains constant.

🌊 The speed of a wave is determined by the medium it travels through, not the source.

🔄 Higher frequency does not mean faster waves.

⏩⏪ When a wave crosses into a new medium, its frequency remains the same but its wavelength changes.

🌊 Frequency of waves is determined by the source of the wave and does not change with wave speed.

🚗 Wavelength of waves is related to frequency and wave speed, with higher frequency waves having shorter wavelengths.

🌉 An analogy involving cars crossing a bridge is used to explain the relationship between wavelength and frequency.

The frequency of a wave is equal to the speed of the wave divided by the wavelength.

The wavelength is the result of the wave's velocity divided by the frequency.

A wave is created by a source that provides energy at a certain frequency and travels through a medium at a certain speed.
