Wavelength: The distances between two consecutive compressions or rarefaction of a wave. Its S.I unit is meter. 

Frequency: One compression and one rarefaction constitutes one vibration. The number of vibration in a second is called frequency. Its unit is Hertz. 

Amplitude: When waves are produced, the particles vibrate about their mean position. The maximum displacement from its mean position of a particle is called its amplitude. It is measured in meters. 

Time period: The time taken by the wave to complete one oscillation i.e., the time between two consecutive compressions or rarefactions is called time period.

How are the wavelength and frequency of a sound wave related to its speed?

Speed = Wavelength x frequency  V = λ × ν

Calculate the wavelength of a sound wave whose frequency is 220 Hz and speed is 440 m/s in a given medium

f = 220 Hz, V = 440 m/s  λ = f = 440 /220 = 2 m

Establish the relationship between speed of sound, its wavelength and frequency. If velocity of sound in air is 340 m s–1, calculate

Derivation of formula v = ν λ.  (i) 340 = 256 λ                        λ = 1.33 m.  (ii) 340 = ν (0.85)     ...

What is the frequency of wave with time period 0.025 s?

Frequency (f) = 1 /Time Period (T)  frequency (f) = 1 /T = 1 / 0.025 = 40Hz  Therefore, frequency of the wave = 40 Hz.

(i) Define the time period of a wave.

(i) Time period (T)  It is defined as the time required to complete one wave.  (ii) Speed of sound (v) = Wavelength ( λ ) × Frequency ( f )  (iii) Given,  Speed of...

A pendulum oscillates 40 times in 4 seconds. Find its time period and frequency.

Frequency of oscillations is the number of oscillations of a vibrating object per second. Therefore frequency is = 40 vibrations /4 seconds= 10 Hertz.  Time period is the time required to...

In half-wave rectification, what is the output frequency if the input frequency is 50 Hz.

Input frequency = 50 Hz For a half-wave rectifier, the output frequency is equal to the input frequency. Output frequency = 50 Hz For a full-wave rectifier, the output frequency is twice the...

In a full wave rectifier circuit operating from 50Hz mains frequency, the fundamental frequency in the ripple would be.

(a) :- Frequency of full wave rectifier = 2 × input frequency = 2 × 50 = 100Hz.

Two waves of equal amplitude A, and equal frequency travel in the same direction in a medium. The amplitude of the resultant wave is.

(d) between 0 and 2A. EXPLANATION:  The amplitude of the resultant wave depends on the phase difference between the two waves. If the phase difference is zero then the resultant amplitude is...

The amplitude modulated (AM) radio wave bends appreciably round the corners of a 1 m x 1 m board but the frequency modulated

The correct answer is (a) λa >λf   EXPLANATION:    The wave having greater wavelength will bend more.      In fact, the frequency of the FM waves is nearly 100 times more than the AM waves...
