The velocity of a wave is wavelength x frequency.
velocity = 3m x 12/s = 36m/s

If frequency is tripled what happens to wavelength?
If frequency is multiplied by three, wavelength is divided by three. Higher frequency, shorter wavelength.
If the frequency is 2 cycles per second then what is the wavelength?
It is not possible to answer this question numerically because the velocity of the wave also needs to be known. The three following equations are equivalent. velocity = wavelength x frequency wavelength = velocity / frequency frequency = velocity / wavelength The correct unit for frequency is Hz (Hertz) although this is the same as the old "cycles per second". Wavelength is measured in metres and velocity in metres/second.
What is the equation used to find the speed of a wave?
Here is an equation that relates three quantities of any wave: speed = frequency x wavelength. However, I am pretty sure that usually, you'll have to somehow measure the speed of the wave, instead of calculating it. In other words, you would measure the speed and the frequency, and then use the formula to calculate the wavelength; or measure the speed and wavelength, and use the formula to calculate the frequency.
The series of ocean waves each 6 m from crest to crest moving past the observer at the rate of three waves per second have what velocity?
velocity = frequency * wavelength velocity = 3 Hz * 6 m velocity = 18 m/s
What is Wave frequency is measured by?
There are basically three characteristics. Frequency, wavelength and velocity are those three. Out of these three two could be measured relative to time. Frequency = number of oscillations or vibrations or rotations per second Velocity = distance covered by the disturbance in one second
What three quantities are used to describe a wave?
Amplitude, speed, and wavelength or frequency. (Wavelength and frequency are related by the wave's speed.)
What is the three basic properties of waves?
Wavelength, amplitude and frequency.
Three characteristics of a wave that you can measure?
wavelength, amplitude, and frequency
What are three measurable characteristics of waves?
amplitude, wavelength, and frequency.
What are the three features of waves that are used to measure them?
The three features of waves includes the wavelength, amplitude, and frequency.
What is the wavelenth of 580 Hertz?
You did not specify the speed of the wave. The relationship is: speed = wavelength x frequency. If you know any two of these three, you can figure out the third one.You did not specify the speed of the wave. The relationship is: speed = wavelength x frequency.
