In this physical science lab, students will calculate the speed of sound. They will observe that the speed of sound is constant, regardless of wavelength or frequency, and see the inverse relationship between wavelength and frequency.

Students measure the wavelength of sounds and learn basic vocabulary associated with waves. As a class, they brainstorm the difference between two tuning forks and the sounds they produce. Then they come up with a way to measure that...

Practice using a displacement graph and wave speed to find the frequency and wavelength of a wave.

This lesson will show how to calculate wavelength and determine wave speed. It is 2 of 2 in the series titled "Wave Speed."

Light travels as waves. Waves can be described by their amplitude, wavelength and frequency. The speed of a wave can be calculated from its frequency and wavelength.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] In the following online tutorial students will calculate the wavelength, frequency, and energy of light using Planck's constant and the speed of light. They will...

The phenomenon of light dispersion is explained with a formula and a practice form for calculating Abbe's number.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] The speed of electromagnetic waves, their wavelengths and frequencies and how to calculate wavelength or wave frequency.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Definition of wave speed and how it is related to wavelength and wave frequency, how to calculate wave speed and how it is related to the medium of a wave.

[Free Registration/Login Required] Neon lights are a type of discharge tube. Observe how electrons create colored light in a hydrogen gas discharge tube. Can you figure out why hydrogen's emission spectrum contains more than one color of...

This tutorial explores using Planck's constant and the speed of light to calculate the wavelength, frequency, and energy of light.
