    In summary, the displacement of a wave traveling in the positive x-direction is represented by the equation D (x,t) = (3.5cm)sin (2.7x - 124t), where x is in meters and t is in seconds. To find the frequency, wavelength, and speed, we can use the equations v = ω/k, λ = 2π/k, and v = fλ. By substituting the given values for A, k, and ω, we ...

    The frequency of a wave on a string is determined by the tension and mass per unit length of the string, as well as the length of the string. It can be calculated using the formula f = 1/2L√ (T/μ), where L is the length of the string, T is the tension, and μ is the mass per unit length. 3.

  5. How do you find frequency given this wave graph? - Physics Forums

    Yes, you can find frequency from a wave graph with irregular waves by measuring the time it takes for a single wave to pass a fixed point and then calculating the frequency using the formula f = 1/T. However, this method may not be as accurate as finding the frequency from a graph with regular waves. Post reply.

    To calculate amplitude, you can use the formula A = (1/2) (maximum value - minimum value). This means that you take the difference between the highest and lowest points of the wave and divide it by 2. The resulting number is the amplitude of the wave. 3.

    The frequency can be calculated by taking the inverse of the period, so f = 1/11.2 = 0.089 Hz. To find the wavelength, we can use the equation λ = v/f. The speed of the wave can be determined by looking at the slope of the graph, which represents the speed of the wave. In this case, the slope appears to be 0.5 m/s.
