Divide the speed of sound by the wavelength, to get the frequency. The period is the reciprocal of the frequency.
The speed of sound in air is about 343 meters/second, but it depends on temperature. The speed of sound in other materials is quite different from the speed of sound in air.

The characteristics of a sound wave is the Amplitude, Frequency, Wavelength, time period, and velocity. The sound wave itself is a longitudinal wave that shows the rarefactions and compressions of a sound wave.
Wave speed = (wavelength)/(period)
To find the wavelength, the following formula applies: λ = ν / f That in common words is: Wavelength = Wave's Speed / Wave's Frequency So, Wavelength of sound wave = Speed of sound wave / Frequency of sound wave Now, Speed of sound wave is 343 m/s, so Wavelength of sound wave = 343 m/s / Frequency of sound wave Frequency of sound waves audible to a human ear range between 20 Hz to 20 kHz. So filling the desired sound frequency in the equation above you get the desired wavelength of that sound wave.
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.
frequency of wave is inversely proportional to wavelength
frequency of wave is inversely proportional to wavelength
Wave Length. Abbr. WL (:
The wavelength of a sound wave affects the diffraction of a sound wave through an open window because the wavelength can determine how fast the diffraction is moving; therfore, causing the sound to be either lower or higher.I think :)
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
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.
