What is the difference between wavelength and frequency

Physics

There is a big difference between wavelength and frequency. Wavelength is the length between each crest of the wave. Frequency is the interval of how often there is a wave.

Pitch is the sensation of certain frequencies to the ear. High frequency = high pitch, low frequency = low pitch. 

f = c(speed of the wave) /  <span>λ (wavelength)

1. 343m/s / 0.77955m = 439.99 Hz   
     This corresponds to pitch A 

2. 343m/s / 0.52028m = 659.26 Hz
</span>     This corresponds to pitch E 
<span>
3. 343m/s / 0.65552m = 523.349 Hz
    </span>This corresponds to pitch C

4. using f = c /  λ
  λ = c / f<span>
     = 343m/s / 587.33 = 0.583999 m = 0.584 m

If you attach a 100 g mass to the spring whose data are shown in the graph, what will be the period of its oscillations?
ycow [4]

if for a force of 0.5 N we have a displacement of -0.02m we can calculate the elastic constant(k) with the formula F=-kx(F=0.5N x=-0.02)

k=F/x k=0.5/0.02=25N/m

now we can calculate the period by the formula

T=2π√(m/k)

in the mass we convert grams to kilograms so 100g=0.1kg

T=6.28√(0.1/25)⇒T=0.39seconds
