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

Amplitude is the speed of the wave?
No. Aplitude is the height of the wave. Frequency and wavelength can be used to calculate the speed of the wave by multiplying them together (if the units are appropriate).
How do you calculate the wavelength of frequency?
Wavelength = (speed of the wave) divided by (frequency)
What two measurements of a wave you need to calculate its speed?
Wave speed(m/s)= Frequency(Hz) x Wavelength(m) W.S= Fr X Wl
What is the wavelength of a transverse wave if travelling at a speed of 14 meters per second?
You can't calculate the wavelength from only that information. The speed, wavelength, and frequency of a wave are related. In order to calculate any of them, the other two must be known.
If a wave has a wavelength of 9 meters and a period of 0.006 what is the velocity 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.
How do you calculate the frequency of a wave?
Divided the wave's speed by its wavelength.
How wavelength and wave period can be used to calculate wave speed?
Just divide the wavelength by the wave period, and you've got the wave speed.
How to calculate the frequency of an electromagnetic wave you need to know the speed of the wave and its?
You need to know it speed, wavelenght and its frequency.
How do you calculate wave speed given the wavelength and the depth?
Wave speed = (wavelength) x (frequency) "Depth" (?) is not involved.
Amplitude is the speed of the wave?
No. Aplitude is the height of the wave. Frequency and wavelength can be used to calculate the speed of the wave by multiplying them together (if the units are appropriate).
How do you calculate frequency wavelength or wave speed?
you divide!
How do you calculate the wavelength?
Wavelength = (wave speed) divided by (frequency)
How do you calculate the wavelength of frequency?
Wavelength = (speed of the wave) divided by (frequency)
Calculate the wave speed for a wave with a wavelength of 2 m and a frequency of 0.3 Hz?
2m*0.3Hz=0.6m/s
What two measurements of a wave you need to calculate its speed?
Wave speed(m/s)= Frequency(Hz) x Wavelength(m) W.S= Fr X Wl

If a wave has a wavelength of 9 meters and a period of 0.006 what is the velocity 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.
