You can Stick to the formula which is :
wavelengths/secounds = Hz
so that
Frequency (Hz) = Wave speed (m/s) / Wavelength (m)
OR
Frequency (Hz) = 1 / Period (s)
Period= 1/ frequency
Therefore you must go to the graph of displacement vs time, determine the frequency (or the number of cycles per second), and then find its reciprocal to determine the wave's Period, T.
Take the reciprocal of its frequency, just like any wave of any other shape.
Graphically, the period is the length of time between consecutive occurrences
of the same point in the wave form, just like any other wave.
The only tough part about a square wave is that there are only two points on it
that you can definitely identify in time ... the rising transition and the falling transition.
But that's OK. The time between two rising transitions or two falling transitions is
still the period, even if the square wave is ugly and its positive time and negative
time are unequal, or it has a DC component.
If the transitions are sloped rather than instantaneous, then the zero-crossings are
easily identifiable points in time. These characteristics are all easily spotted on an
oscilloscope.
Period = (wavelength of the wave) divided by (speed of the wave)
also . . .
Period = ( 1 ) divided by (frequency of the wave)

The speed of the wave is equal to wavelength x frequency. You can calculate the frequency, in this case, as 1 / period.
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
If a radio wave has a period of one then the period wave or two would be 2. This is math.
Wave speed = (wavelength)/(period)
When a wave period decreases, speed increases.
Just divide the wavelength by the wave period, and you've got the wave speed.
you find the formula... then you calculate it. Its that simple.
The speed of the wave is equal to wavelength x frequency. You can calculate the frequency, in this case, as 1 / period.
T=Period F=frequency T=1/F Period=1/F
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
Wave speed is the distance a wave travels in a given period of time. Frequency is the number of oscillations in a given period of time. The third leg of the triangle is wavelength--the distance between peaks of the wave. Given any two of these values for a wave, you can calculate the third.
The period is the reciprocal of the frequency, in other words, one divide by the frequency. If the frequency is in Hertz, the period is in seconds.
A wave length.
The reciprocal of the period of ANY wave is the wave's frequency.
If a radio wave has a period of one then the period wave or two would be 2. This is math.
Wave frequency f, and period of wave T are inverses, related by fT=1.
Wave speed = (wavelength)/(period)
