Dolbear's Law

Dolbear's law states the relationship between the air temperature and the rate at which crickets chirp. As temperatures rise, so does the frequency of chirps.

Temperature increases with the rate of cricket chirps.

Formula

QuantityVariable["T", "Temperature"] == Quantity[50 + (-40 + QuantityVariable["N", "Unitless"])/4, "DegreesFahrenheit"]

symbol description physical quantity
T temperature "Temperature"
N cricket chirps per minute "Unitless"
