What is the equation used to find the speed of a wave?
Here is an equation that relates three quantities of any wave: speed = frequency x wavelength. However, I am pretty sure that usually, you'll have to somehow measure the speed of the wave, instead of calculating it. In other words, you would measure the speed and the frequency, and then use the formula to calculate the wavelength; or measure the speed and wavelength, and use the formula to calculate the frequency.
Three characteristics of a wave that you can measure?
wavelength, amplitude, and frequency
What equation is used to measure wave speed?
speed= frequency x wavelength
Does the frequency increase when the wavelength increases?
No, the frequency decreases as the wavelength lengthens. The shorter the wavelength the higher the frequency.
What determine the color of a light wave?
Its wavelength (or frequency).
How do you measure the speed of the wave?
To measure the speed of a wave, you multiply the frequency by the wavelength.

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.

wavelength, amplitude, and frequency
How would you find frequency of a compressional wave?
That depends on the information available. You can try to measure the frequency, with specialized equipment. Or, you might measure the wavelength and the speed instead, and use the basic relationship for waves (speed = wavelength x frequency).
What equation is used to measure wave speed?
speed= frequency x wavelength
Can you find volocity if you have wavelength and frequency?
Wavelength = Velocity / Frequency So, Velocity = Wavelength * Frequency
Relationship between frequency velocity and wavelength?
Wavelength = (speed) divided by (frequency) Frequency = (speed) divided by (wavelength) Speed = (frequency) times (wavelength)
Does the frequency increase when the wavelength increases?
No, the frequency decreases as the wavelength lengthens. The shorter the wavelength the higher the frequency.
What is the number of centimeters between waves of light?
The measure of a light's frequency is called wavelength.
How do you find the frequency of a wavelength?
Frequency = (speed) / (wavelength)
How are frequency speed and wavelength related?
they are related by the equation velocity=frequency*wavelength
