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.
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
The speed the wave is traveling through space
The velocity of a point that moves with a wave at constant phase. Also known as celerity; phase speed; wave celerity; wave speed., wave velocity.

The speed of a wave = (frequency) x (wavelength) = 2.5 meters per second.
If you have an isotropic material, the phase velocity of the surface wave (Rayleigh wave)can be approximately calculated by the following equation: v ~ [(0.72-(v_t/v_l)^2)/(0.75-(v_t/v_l)^2)]) * v_t where v is the Rayleigh velocity v_t is the transverse wave velocity (v_t=sqrt(c_44/density)) v_l is the longitudinal wave velocity(v_l=sqrt(c_11/density) and c_11 and c_44 are the members of the elastic constant tensor. For anisotropic materials, each direction of propagation possesses its own velocity and things get more complicated.
Speed = (frequency) x (wavelength) = (2) x (2) = 4 meters per second.There's not enough information to calculate 'velocity'.
No.
How quickly the wave travels
Wavelength*Frequency = Velocity of the wave. or Wavelength/Period = Velocity of the wave.
Velocity and speed are not synonyms.
