CollegeBoard SAT Physics Study Guide PT1 Q56


56) Given the frequency, we want to find out which other characteristics of the wave we can determine. There are only two wave equations that include frequency. Let's take a look at them.

Where v is velocity, f is frequency, lamda is wavelength, and T is period

If we use the red equation, there will be two unknowns so we cannot solve this equation. However, if we use the red equation, we will have one unknown, period(T), and we could plug in frequency to solve for it.


Answer: D
