Energy, Wavelength and Frequency

Front

On a wave, the distance between crest to crest is called?

Back

Wavelength

Front

The symbol for a frequency of a wave is?

Back

v

Front

The unit of measure for frequency is?

Back

Hertz

Front

What is the units for speed of light?

Back

m/s

Front

What does 'h' stand for?

Back

Planck's Constant

Front

What is the relationship between wavelength and frequency?

Back

Wavelength and frequency are inversely related; as one increases, the other decreases.

Front

What is the formula for calculating the speed of a wave?

Back

Speed = Wavelength × Frequency

Front

What is the speed of light in a vacuum?

Back

Approximately 3.00 × 10^8 m/s

Front

What is the frequency of a wave with a wavelength of 2 meters traveling at the speed of light?

Back

Frequency = Speed / Wavelength = (3.00 × 10^8 m/s) / (2 m) = 1.5 × 10^8 Hz

Front

What is the significance of Planck's Constant in quantum mechanics?

Back

Planck's Constant relates the energy of a photon to its frequency.
