A set of 20 wave calculations and questions for Higher Tier physics or combined science students to complete, with answers for self- or peer-marking in class.
There are three sets of wave calculations, on frequency, wave speed and wavelength / frequency / wave speed.
Example calculations from the worksheet:
Wavelength, frequency, and wave speed v = f x λ
What is the speed of the following waves?
1. A wave with a wavelength of 1 m and a frequency of 330 Hz.
2. A wave with a wavelength of 1000 m and a frequency of 3 000 000 Hz (3 x 106).
3. A wave with a wavelength of 0.5 m and a frequency of 600 000 000 Hz (6 x 108).
