What is the formula for wave speed?

Answer 1

There are a few different formulas, depending on what measurements you know.

For mechanical waves . . . the mechanical characteristics of the medium.

For electromagnetic waves . . . the electrical characteristics of the medium.

For all waves . . . the product of (wavelength) multiplied by (frequency).

Answer 2

wave speed is the speed of which a wave travels.Speed = Wavelength * FrequencyThe above equation is known as the wave equation. It states the mathematical relationship between the speed (v) of a wave and its wavelength (λ) and frequency (f). Using the symbols v, λ, and f, the equation can be rewritten asv = f * λ* =multiply

Answer 3

Depending on what you already have given or found it can be as simple as dividing the wave length(distance) over the period(time).

Answer 4

The formula of wave speed is x=nf
x= wave speed
n= wave length
f= frequency

Answer 5

One commonly used formula is:

speed = wavelength x frequency

If you know any two of these, you can calculate the third one.

Answer 6

hear is not menton clearly type of wave. even frequency is given then we can find it by formula i.e. f=n.v where n=no of wave and v= velocity of wave

Answer 7

One attractive and useful formula is

Wave speed = (Frequency) x (Wavelength)

Answer 8

speed= frequency X wavelength

Answer 9

wave speed = frequency x wavelength
