Wave speed = (wavelength)/(period)
Use the formula f = v λ Where f is frequency, v is the speed of the wave, and λ is the wavelength. Dividing both sides by v gives λ = f / v
Wave Length. Abbr. WL (:
you find out a waves speed by taking the wavelength and divide it by it's wave period or how long it takes for the wave to complete a full wavelength. This is what my textbook said. Speed=Wavelength ×Frequency
Period = Wavelength / Velocity
Wavelength is the distance between two successive crests or troughs in a wave. And time period is the time taken for the disturbance to move from one crest to the successive one. So wavelength/ wave period (time period) = speed of the wave.
Wave frequency can be calculated by dividing the speed of the wave (if we're talking about electromagnetic waves in vacuum, that would be the speed of light, c) by wavelength.
Wave speed = (wavelength)/(period)
by dividing wavelength by frequency
Use the formula f = v λ Where f is frequency, v is the speed of the wave, and λ is the wavelength. Dividing both sides by v gives λ = f / v
Just divide the wavelength by the wave period, and you've got the wave speed.
Wavelength*Frequency = Velocity of the wave. or Wavelength/Period = Velocity of the wave.

Period = Wavelength / Velocity
A wave period is the time for one complete cycle; therefore, a period is the same as one wavelength
The speed of the wave is equal to wavelength x frequency. You can calculate the frequency, in this case, as 1 / period.
