Activity sheet 2 Week 2
Calculations on Speed, Wavelength and Frequency
Directions: Solve the given problems using the equations below. Show your solution.
Use GUFSA (Given, Unknown, Formula, Solution, Answer)
The speed of electromagnetic waves in a vacuum is equal to the speed of light.
In equation form: c =
v = f x
Speed (v ): of the wave in meter/second (m/s)
Frequency (f) :number of waves that pass a cycle per second in Hertz (Hz)
Wavelength(m): is the distance from crest to crest or trough to trough.
Sample problem:
