Frequently Asked Questions
What is the relationship between frequency and wavelength?
Frequency and wavelength are inversely related for a wave traveling at a constant speed — higher frequency waves have shorter wavelengths, and lower frequency waves have longer wavelengths.
Why is the speed of sound used as the default wave speed?
343 meters per second is the approximate speed of sound in air at room temperature, a commonly referenced value for acoustic calculations, though this calculator works for any wave type by entering its actual propagation speed.
What wave speed should I use for light or radio waves?
For electromagnetic waves like light or radio signals traveling in a vacuum or air, use the speed of light, approximately 300,000,000 meters per second, instead of the speed of sound.
