The details will depend on the type of wave. For example, for a water wave, you might observe it - use a stopwatch to watch how long it takes for a wave crest to go from one clearly marked point to another one. Measure the distance, and divide distance by time.

How can you determine the speed of wave?
by multiplying its frequency
What do we call a speed at which a wave travels?
I would call it "the speed of the wave".
What dose the frequency of a sound wave determine?
The frequency of a sound wave will determine the pitch (or note).
How does wave speed relate to wavelength and period?
Wave speed = (wavelength)/(period)
What is the correlation between wavelengths and frequency?
Wavelength = wave speed/frequency Frequency = wave speed/wavelength (Wavelength) x (Frequency) = Wave speed
Two ways to determine wave speed?
you can determine it by the wavelenght and the period of the wave and the frequencey
How can you determine a speed of a wave?
by multiplying its frequency
How can you determine the speed of wave?
by multiplying its frequency
How is wave speed determine?
by dividing wavelength by frequency
To determine the speed of a wave what formula would you use?
speed = wavelength x frequency
What are the two factors you need to determine the wave speed?
wave frequencys tell us the number of waves there are on that diagram.
What kind of wave is speed?
Speed is not a wave.
How do you find wavelength with a frequency of 372 and a measurement of 9.5 centimeters?
Wavelength is found by dividing the wave speed by its frequency. The speed should be in meters per second and the frequency in Hertz. this will give you the wavelength in meters. In this particular question, you will first have to determine the time taken for the wave to cover 9.5 cm in order to find the speed of the wave.
What properties of a light wave determine its color?
Frequency or wave length.The relation between frequency f and wave length lof a light waveis given by; f = c/l, where c is light's speed.
The speed at which the wave crests move is the?
... wave's speed of propagation.
What wave property affects the speed of a wave?
Both the wavelength and the frequency of a wave affect the speed of a wave.
How do you determine the speed of a wave?
Speed of wave propagation in a particular medium is a constant and usually depends of mediums density, temperature and so on. ( Like in speed of sound ) Let's do a problem. Example: Determine the frequency of a 1 m electromagnetic wave. Solution: Since we know that the speed of light is 300, 000, 000 m/s or 3x 10^+8 m/s f= c/L= 3x 10^+8 / 1.0 3= 3x 10^+8 Hz or 300 MHz
