∙ 12y agoIf you know the frequency of a sound wave, you know the note. If it is 440, you have an A. If you know the speed, you know the temperature.

∙ 7y agoLike any speed, you can divide distance traveled, by the time it takes to travel.Also, if you happen to know the wave's frequency and its wavelength, you can multiply those to get the speed.

Which factors increase seismic wave speed?
epicenter. focus. magnitude. and density
How is the sound speed and the medium related?
When the density of the medium increases, the speed of the sound wave increases.
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.
Two ways to determine wave speed?
you can determine it by the wavelenght and the period of the wave and the frequencey
How can you determine the speed of wave?
by multiplying its frequency
How can you determine a speed of a wave?
by multiplying its frequency
How is wave speed determine?
by dividing wavelength by frequency
To determine the speed of a wave what formula would you use?
speed = wavelength x frequency
How to calculate the frequency of an electromagnetic wave you need to know the speed of the wave and its?
You need to know it speed, wavelenght and its frequency.
What do you need to figure out wave speed?
Wave energy and time
What factors determine the size of a wave?
Wind speed Length of time the wind has blown over a given area Distance of open water that the wind has blown over; called fetch
How does energy and speed relate?
The speed of a wave is a property of the medium, changing the speed would need a change in the medium itself. If the medium doesn't change as a wave moves, the wave speed is steady. Formula: Speed = distance divided by time
What factors affect the speed of wave?
Some factors that affect the speed of sound waves are density of medium, temperature, direction of wind, and humidity. Remember that a sound wave is just a pressure disturbance that travels through a medium by particle interactions. The nature of the medium will affect the sound waves velocity.
What factors determine the size of an ocean wave made by wind?
Waves are mechanical energy that has been transferred mostly from wind. The factors that determine the size of an ocean wave made by the wind are: time of contact, velocity of wind and the fetch-distance over which wind is in contact with water.
A wave has a velocity of 300 ms and a wavelength of 3 m what is the frequency of wave?
Since the speed of the wave is equal to the wavelength times the frequency, all you need to do is divide the speed by the wavelength in this case.
