The wavelength (λ) is the distance between consecutive repetitions of the waveform. In other words, it is the smallest distance, measured parallel to the direction of the wavewave propagationwave propagation, between the points which are in the same vibration phase.

The wavelength is most easily determined by giving the distance between two consecutive wave crests or between its consecutive troughs.

For a wave spreading at the velocity v its length can be expressed:

The wave moving at speed v during one period will cover the distance equal to its length.

The wave period is the time when any wave point will make one full vibration.

The frequency (f) of the wave is the quantity informing us about the rate of repetition of the vibrations of a given point of the medium in which the wave propagates. Because the period is the duration of one full cycle of vibrations, the frequency (informing us about the number of cycles per unit of time) must be equal to its inverse:

T=1f
f=1T

By inserting the last expression into the wavelength formula we get:

λ=vf

Exercise 9

Do the following tasks.

1. If we suspend a small‑sized weight on a thin, non‑stretchable thread, we will create a mathematical pendulum, whose vibration period is expressed by the formula T=2πlg, where l is the thread length and g the acceleration of the free fall. Calculate the length of the mathematical pendulum thread with the vibration period of 2 seconds. Calculate by how many centimetres you have to shorten the thread to obtain the vibration period of 1 second.

2. Janek, standing on the seashore, noticed that the distance between the crests of the waves is 12 m and the waves hit the shore 20 times per minute. Calculate the speed of the sea waves.
