To estimate the speed of a wave, a person can estimate the distance the wave is from shore and then time how long the wave takes to reach the shore. For example, if a wave is one mile out and it takes one minute to reach shore, the wave is traveling at 60 miles per hour.

A wave has a wavelength of 1.2 m and a frequency of 3 Hz What is the wave speed?
apex - 3.6 . to find the wave speed you multiply the frequency and the wave length .
How to find the speed of the wave?
i beleave its distance / time
What is the speed of a wave with a wavelength of 10 meters?
We don't know.Every wave has wavelength, frequency, and speed. In order to find any one of them,we need to know the other two.
What is the formula to find amplitude and speed of waves?
-- Speed of a wave = (frequency) times (wavelength) -- There is no general formula for amplitude.
What do we call a speed at which a wave travels?
I would call it "the speed of the wave".
How do you find the wavelength of a transverse wave?
wave length = wave speed divided by its frequency
A wave has a wavelength of 1.2 m and a frequency of 3 Hz What is the wave speed?
apex - 3.6 . to find the wave speed you multiply the frequency and the wave length .
How do you find the wave speed from frequency and the wavelenghts?
speed= frqquency*wavelength
How do you find a wave's speed?
v=fλ where f is the frequency, and λ is the wavelength
What is the equation used to find the speed of sound?
Speed = Frequency * Wave length.
How to find the speed of the wave?
i beleave its distance / time
How do you find a speed of a wave?
speed=distance travelled by wave divided by corresponding time take or v=frequency multiplied by wavelength
How can you find the speed that a wave travels?
Multiply its frequency by its wavelength.
What kind of wave is speed?
Speed is not a wave.
Find the wavelength of a wave with a speed of 5.6?
There is insufficient information to answer the question.
How do you find wavelength of a wave?
The speed of a wave equals the frequency times the wavelength (speed = frequency x wavelength). Therefore, the wavelength would equal the speed divided by the frequency. Also, the speed of a wave in a vacuum is the speed of light, c, which is a constant.
What is the speed of a wave with a wavelength of 10 meters?
We don't know.Every wave has wavelength, frequency, and speed. In order to find any one of them,we need to know the other two.
