In common language, the terms "velocity" and "speed" are used interchangeably. In physics, "velocity" is a vector, and "speed" is not - meaning that when the word "velocity" is used, it specifies not just how fast something moves, but also in what direction.
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 the wave is traveling through space
The speed and direction of a wave
For any wave, frequency x wavelength = speed of the wave.
v = frequency x wavelength v is the velocity of the wavelength
Velocity and speed are not synonyms.
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.

For any wave, frequency x wavelength = speed of the wave.
The official definition for the word group velocity is "the speed at which the energy of a wave travels."
v = frequency x wavelength v is the velocity of the wavelength
The speed at which a wave passes through water or other medium is called phase velocity.
This is not true practically. Theoretically speaking as velocity increases with wavelength remains constant, then frequency has to increase accordingly. Since the formula for velocity is given as: velocity of the wave v = frequency (nu) * wavelength (lamda). In reality the characteristic, namely, frequency remains constant when the speed of the wave changes as it traverses in different medium.

velocity of a wave equals wave frequency times wave length.
