Relation Between Frequency And Velocity

Frequency is a fundamental characteristic of a wave. It is the measure of the number of waves passing through a point in a unit time. The velocity of a wave is the distance travelled by a point on the wave. In general, for any wave the relation between Frequency and Velocity is proportionate.

Frequency And Velocity

• V is the velocity of the wave measured in m/s.
• f is the frequency of the wave measured in Hz.
• λ is the wavelength of the wave measured in m.

Frequency And Velocity Relation

Amplitude, Frequency, wavelength, and velocity are the characteristics of any wave. For a constant wavelength, an increase in frequency will increase the velocity of the wave.

Example:

• For a constant wavelength, if the frequency is doubled, the velocity of the wave will also get doubled.
• For a constant wavelength, if the frequency is made four times, the velocity of the wave will also be increased by four times.
