-- The speed of an electromagnetic wave depends on the electrical characteristics of the stuff
it's moving through. If it's moving through vacuum, then it depends on the permeability and
permittivity of vacuum, and comes out to be 299,792,458 meters per second.
-- The speed of a mechanical wave depends on the mechanical characteristics of the stuff
it's moving through. If there's no material stuff there, then the speed is zero.

What can be determine from the frequency and wavelength of a wave?
The velocity of the wave
What is wave velocity and particle velocity?
The speed the wave is traveling through space
What is phase velocity?
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.
How does the speed of light depend on the wavelength?
The equation relating the velocity, wavelength and frequency of an electromagnetic wave is given byv=f λwhere v - velocity of the em wavef - frequency of the em wave andλ - wavelength of the em wave------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------It is so important to know that velocity of light depends on the nature of the medium and does not depend on the wavelength.
Is wave amplitude related to wave velocity?
No.

What is velocity of a wave?
How quickly the wave travels
Is wave amplitude related to wave velocity?
No.
How do wavelength and periods relate?
Wavelength*Frequency = Velocity of the wave. or Wavelength/Period = Velocity of the wave.
Is velocity the speed of a wave?
Velocity and speed are not synonyms.
What is the velocity of atmospheric gravity waves?
it depends on the waves and how they are connected to the velocity. Remember, that velocity increases from left to right on a periodic table. The velocity is 24 amu per mile.
What is the velocity of a radio wavelength of 3m?
If u meant radio wave, then velocity of all electromagnetic wave is 3*108 m/s. Hence velocity of radio wave will be the same ,as it as an em wave, irrespective of its wavelength.
What is the difference between group velocity and phase velocity in a stationary wave on a string?
The velocity of a wave which maintains consatnt phase at all successive positions during propogation is known as wave velocity or phase velocity. The velocity of a group of waves which maintains constant poditions during the propogation is known as group velocity.
