C=Delta x V

Postby Jordan Y4D » Sun Oct 07, 2018 1:32 pm

I'm confused on how exactly to use this equation. Does this equation consider the energy of the waves or only the frequency and wave lengths?

I think you mean lambda instead of delta, but i think the equation only considers the wavelength (lambda) and the frequency (v).

The only equation I can think of is c=(lamba)x(v). I don't think c=delta x v exists.

The equation is actually C=Lambda x V and it does not involve the energy of the wave, but shows that when you multiply frequency and wavelength, it equals a constant.

c is a constant, for speed of light in a vacuum. in class Dr. Lavelle said it's 3.00 x 10^8 m/s.

Using this equation (C= Lambda x V) we can analyze specific waves of light against the constant that is the speed of light, so we can glean some information on its wavelength, frequency, and additionally from that where it belongs on the electromagnetic spectrum. It's a type of linear equation that can be conceptualized as the ideal gas law's usability, where we can proportionally analyze changes.

From the equation, c(speed of light, 3*10^8 m/s)=lambda(wavelength, nm)*v(frequency, Hz), you are able to figure out many different variables and understand conceptual topics. For example, the speed of light, "c", is always a constant. This tells us that if that if the wavelength increases, the the frequency will decrease and vice versa.
