how quickly the wave travels

∙ 12y agoVelocity is change in position over time, or displacement over time interval, v = (xf - xi) /(tf - ti) where v equals velocity, x equals position, t equals time, f means final, and i means initial. Since displacement involves distance, it is always measured with a length or distance unit, such as meter, centimeter, kilometer, and time is measured in seconds or hours. So, a velocity measurement would be something like 20m/s, or 80km/h. Because velocity is a vector quantity it also includes direction, so you would also indicate the direction of the velocity, such as 20m/s, E.

What does velocity of a wave measure?
The speed and direction of a wave
What is the measure of the size of the disturbance from a wave?
Wave velocity
What is wave velocity and particle velocity?
The speed the wave is traveling through space
What can be determine from the frequency and wavelength of a wave?
The velocity of the wave
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.

Is wave amplitude related to wave velocity?
No.
The Doppler Effect is a phenomenon that allows one to measure an object's?
The doppler effect is the change in frequency of a wave for an observer moving relative to the source of the wave. You can measure the location and velocity of a locomotive moving towards or away from your. You can measure a star's location and velocity vector regarding the shift and color emanating from the star light. This is calculated via doppler light equations.
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 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.
