⚑ Key Formulas – Waves

\[ v = f\lambda \]
Wave Equation (Speed = Frequency Γ— Wavelength)
\[ f = \frac{1}{T} \]
Frequency – Time Period Relation
\[ T = \frac{1}{f} \]
Time Period = 1 / Frequency
\[ \text{Speed} = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}} \]
Wave Propagation Speed
\[ \text{Angle i} = \text{Angle r} \]
Law of Reflection
