The unit of frequency is hertz (Hz). and wavelength close wavelength The length of a single wave, measured from one wave peak to the next., according to the equation: \(wave~speed~(v) = frequency ...

In National 5 Physics examine the properties of waves and use the wave equation, v = f λ, to relate the speed, frequency and wavelength.

If we just consider the positive frequency component, then there are four solutions to the equation. These correspond to light waves that have positive and negative frequencies, and waves that are ...
