Wave speed = (wavelength)/(period)
Wave Length. Abbr. WL (:
you find out a waves speed by taking the wavelength and divide it by it's wave period or how long it takes for the wave to complete a full wavelength. This is what my textbook said. Speed=Wavelength ×Frequency
Period = Wavelength / Velocity
A wave period is the time for one complete cycle; therefore, a period is the same as one wavelength
Wave speed = (wavelength)/(period)
Just divide the wavelength by the wave period, and you've got the wave speed.
Wavelength*Frequency = Velocity of the wave. or Wavelength/Period = Velocity of the wave.
In water or other liquids the wave travels across the surface as a difference in height and with a certain period or wavelength.
Wave Length. Abbr. WL (:
There is no relation between wave length and wave height. You can change the wave height independently from the wave length. Wave height tells you which amplitude the wave has. If you think of sound that means how loud it is. The wave length tells you the pitch or the frequency of this sound, that means high or low sound. Long wavelength means bass sound and short wavelength means treble sound.

Wavelength is the distance between two successive crests or troughs in a wave. And time period is the time taken for the disturbance to move from one crest to the successive one. So wavelength/ wave period (time period) = speed of the wave.
Period = Wavelength / Velocity
A wave period is the time for one complete cycle; therefore, a period is the same as one wavelength

The speed of the wave is equal to wavelength x frequency. You can calculate the frequency, in this case, as 1 / period.
