Episode 3 — Waves Sound and Light - Doppler

Wave Basics

Learners will be able to:

• Identify the period of a wave and its unit of measurement in seconds. • Calculate the frequency of a wave using the formula F = 1/T. • Explain that the frequency of a wave is equal to one divided by the period or vice versa. • Describe the relationship between wavelength, frequency, and speed of a wave. • Apply the wave equation V = Fλ to calculate velocity, wavelength, or frequency given two variables.
