{"id":87,"count":13,"description":"This collection of waves and optics calculators helps you solve the most common problems involving light, sound, and wave motion. Use the <strong>Wave Speed<\/strong> calculator to find how fast a wave travels from its frequency and wavelength, or the <strong>Doppler Effect<\/strong> calculator to determine the perceived frequency shift of a moving source or observer \u2014 a key concept in acoustics and radar.\nFor geometric optics, the <strong>Lens Equation<\/strong> and <strong>Magnification<\/strong> calculators handle image distance, focal length, and image size, while <strong>Snell's Law<\/strong> computes refraction angles as light passes between media. These tools are ideal for physics students, engineers, optical designers, and anyone working with lenses, prisms, or wave phenomena.","link":"https:\/\/wpcalc.com\/en\/tag\/waves-optics\/","name":"Waves &amp; Optics","slug":"waves-optics","taxonomy":"post_tag","meta":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wpcalc.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags\/87","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wpcalc.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wpcalc.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/taxonomies\/post_tag"}],"wp:post_type":[{"href":"https:\/\/wpcalc.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts?tags=87"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
