You cannot figure out the speed if you only know the wavelength. You can use the following relationship, valid for all sorts of waves:speed = wavelength x frequency
If you know TWO of these for a given wave, you can calculate the third one.

What color do color vision deficient people dream in?
All colors if not vision deficient by birth.
The cells responsible for color vision in mammalian eyes are called?
The cells responsible for the color vision in mammals are called as cones. I have been remembering the same by color vision by cones. That C and C. The brightness is perceived by rod cells. This is how you dispel the confusion. There are cones and rods to perceive the vision.
How do you regain color vision?
If a person is without color vision, there is really no way to regain it. There are types of lenses that can improve some color loss, but it cannot be regained.
What speed do you get tunnel vision?
the speed you get in a tunnel vision is really fast speed...haha how am i suppose to know tht is a stupid question.... ha sry i dont wanna be mean...the speed you get in a tunnel vision is really fast speed...haha how am i suppose to know tht is a stupid question.... ha sry i dont wanna be mean...
Eye defect that causes color-deficient vision?
There are a wide variety of eye defects that can potentially cause color-deficient vision. The most common one is color blindness, which is a sex-linked genetic trait.
What wave has a color spectrum that is known as roygbiv?
That wave is called as electromagnetic wave. It has got a spectrum of very high frequency gamma rays to very low frequency radio waves. They all have the same speed. That is the speed of light.
What kind of wave is speed?
Speed is not a wave.
What did you observe with the product of wavelength and frequency for each color?
Well, I wasn't actually there, so I didn't observe anything. But from my education and personal experience, I know that the product of the wavelength and frequency of any wave is the wave's speed. So I should expect that the product of wavelength and frequency for any color of light, and for that matter, any electromagnetic wave, is always the same number, and ought to always be very close to the speed of light in the medium in which you observed it, or would have observed it had you been there.
The speed at which the wave crests move is the?
... wave's speed of propagation.
Does the color of the laser affect the velocity of the light wave projected by the laser?
No, velocity and color are independent. Color is determined by frequency, and speed is determined by what material the light is traveling through.
What wave property affects the speed of a wave?
Both the wavelength and the frequency of a wave affect the speed of a wave.
Does color of a laser affects the velocity of the light wave projected by a laser?
No. Light travels at the same speed no matter what.
Does the amplitude affect on the wavelength or wave speed?
No, the amplitude of a wave does not affect the wavelength or wave speed. The wavelength is determined by the frequency of the wave, while the wave speed is determined by the medium through which the wave is traveling. Amplitude simply represents the maximum displacement of particles in the wave.
What is the formula for finding the frequency of a wave?
The wavelength of a wave is calculated using the formula: Wavelength = speed of the wave divided by the frequency of the wave. For radio waves and other wireless signals as well as the speed a signal travels along a wire, the speed of the wave is approximately 299,792,458 meters per second (the speed of light).
What is the equation for calculating wave speed?
wave speed= frequency/wavelenth
What is the speed at which a wave travels through a medium called?
wave speed
What is wave speed equation?
Wave speed wavelength times frequency.
