The speed of light, in wave or particle form, travels at approximately 300,000,000 meters per second in a vacuum. Although this speed remains constant, the frequency and wavelength are subject to change. These difference account for various colors of visible light.

∙ 13y agoElementary my Dear, You are obviously talking about Wave speed and the formula for wave speed is X= N times F X= wave speed N= Wavelength and F= Frequency (also frequency is the number of crests in a wave shown the SI unit is Hertz).

∙ 11y agothe speed of a sound wave is 340 m/s (in air) while the speed of light 300,000,000 m/s (in vacuum)
The speed of any wave is (frequency) x (wavelength).

∙ 12y agoWell, if you wanted to sound more scholarly, you could call it "propagation velocity",
but there's nothing wrong at all with calling it "speed of the wave".

How does the frequency of a sound wave affect the speed at which the sound wave moves?
Frequency and speed of propagation of the wave are independent of one another. The medium determines the speed of propagation.
Is velocity the speed of a wave?
Velocity and speed are not synonyms.
What can a standing wave tell you about a wave?
By examining a standing wave you can observe the frequency, wavelength, wave speed, and amplitude of the wave.
How much faster is a wave with a frequency of 220Hz than a wave of 440Hz?
You didn't specify what kind of wave, but in any case, the speed of a wave is usually more or less independent of the frequency.You didn't specify what kind of wave, but in any case, the speed of a wave is usually more or less independent of the frequency.You didn't specify what kind of wave, but in any case, the speed of a wave is usually more or less independent of the frequency.You didn't specify what kind of wave, but in any case, the speed of a wave is usually more or less independent of the frequency.
What are the two factors you need to determine the wave speed?
wave frequencys tell us the number of waves there are on that diagram.
What kind of wave is speed?
Speed is not a wave.
The speed at which the wave crests move is the?
... wave's speed of propagation.
What wave property affects the speed of a wave?
Both the wavelength and the frequency of a wave affect the speed of a wave.
What is the formula for finding the frequency of a wave?
The wavelength of a wave is calculated using the formula: Wavelength = speed of the wave divided by the frequency of the wave. For radio waves and other wireless signals as well as the speed a signal travels along a wire, the speed of the wave is approximately 299,792,458 meters per second (the speed of light).
What is the speed at which a wave travels through a medium called?
wave speed
What is the equation for calculating wave speed?
wave speed= frequency/wavelenth
What is wave speed equation?
Wave speed wavelength times frequency.
What do we call a speed at which a wave travels?
I would call it "the speed of the wave".
Can a surfer's speed be greater than a wave's speed?
yes.....as he moves up and down the wave facem his speed varies from less then to more trhen the speed of the wave
The speed at which a wave travels through a medium is called?
The Speed At Which Wave Travels Is Known As Wave Velocity.It Is Denoted As 'v' which Equals The Product Of Its Frequency And Wavelength.
How does wave speed relate to wavelength and period?
Wave speed = (wavelength)/(period)
How do you measure the speed of the wave?
To measure the speed of a wave, you multiply the frequency by the wavelength.
