Hey guys, Ive been going over the two big rules for waves, but im very confused because for them to be true, how could you possibly use the equation c=lambda(v)/ v=lambda(f) to answer certain questions.
Big Rule 1: The speed of a wave is determined by the type of wave and the characteristic of the medium, not by the frequency
Big Rule 2: When a wave passes into another medium, its speed changes, but its frequency does not.
Thank you.
