What are the two equations that can be used to determine the speed of a wave?

Answer 1

The equation used for measuring the speed of a wave is the frequency of the wave times one wavelength.

velocity= frequency * wavelength

Frequency is defined as how many many cycles occur per second.

The unit of measurement used for frequency is Hertz (Hz), because

Hertz is equivalent to 1/s. (s=second)

The wavelength depends on the type of wave you are dealing with, whether it be an open ended wave, a closed end wave, or just a standard wave.

But for calculating speed you just need to remember frequency times wavelength.

Answer 2

The two equations that can be used to determine the speed of a wave are:

1. ( \text{Wave speed (v)} = \text{Frequency (f)} \times \text{Wavelength (λ)} )
2. ( \text{Wave speed (v)} = \frac{ \text{Distance traveled (d)} }{ \text{Time taken (t)} } )
