如何计算Frequency and Wavelength

learn.whatIsHeading

Frequency (f) and wavelength (λ) are related by wave speed: v = fλ. For electromagnetic waves v = c = 3×10⁸ m/s. For sound in air at 20°C, v ≈ 343 m/s.

公式

f = c / λ | λ = c / f | where c = 3×10⁸ m/s (light) or speed of sound ≈ 343 m/s

f: Frequency (Hz)
λ: Wavelength (m)
c: Speed of wave (m/s)

分步指南

1λ = v / f
2f = v / λ
3EM waves in vacuum: c = 3×10⁸ m/s
4Sound in air at 20°C: v ≈ 343 m/s

例题解析

输入

Middle C (262 Hz) sound wave

结果

λ = 343/262 = 1.31 m

输入

Green light (550nm)

结果

f = 3×10⁸/550×10⁻⁹ = 5.45×10¹⁴ Hz
