A unit of velocity is any unit of speed along with a direction.
A unit of speed is (any unit of length) divided by (any unit of time).
A few of the more popular units of speed are:
-- miles per hour
-- feet per second
-- kilometers per hour
-- meters per second
-- furlongs per fortnight
-- centimeters per second
Add a direction to any of these, and you have a unit of velocity.

What is units for wave speed?
The same unit meant for velocity ie m/s.
What is the wavelength of a wave that has a velocity of 0.4 and a frequency of 0.2 Hz?
you need to specify the units for velocity. assuming that the velocity is in metres per second, the wavelength is 2 metres
What can be determine from the frequency and wavelength of a wave?
The velocity of the wave
What is wave velocity and particle velocity?
The speed the wave is traveling through space
What is phase velocity?
The velocity of a point that moves with a wave at constant phase. Also known as celerity; phase speed; wave celerity; wave speed., wave velocity.
What is units for wave speed?

What is the wavelength of a wave that has a velocity of 0.4 and a frequency of 0.2 Hz?

A wave is moving toward shore with a velocity of 50.0 if its frequency is 2.5 hertz what is its wavelength?
50 / 2.5 = 20, same units as numerator of velocity
What can be determine from the frequency and wavelength of a wave?
The velocity of the wave
Formula for velocity of a wave?
v=lambda*f v is velocity, lambda is wavelengt, f is frequency Units are m/s, meters, Hertz Or v=w/k v is velocity, w(supposed to be greek letter omega) is angular frequency, and k is the wave number Or If you want to get complicated the velocity of a wave can be seen in the wave equation. This requires partial derivatives, look into it for calculus based physics
What is wave velocity and particle velocity?
The speed the wave is traveling through space
What is the difference between wavelenghtand amplitude?
The wavelength is the distance the wave travels before repeating in meters. The amplitude of the wave is the deflection from peak to trough in units of the wave value, e.g electric field or velocity.
What is phase velocity?
The velocity of a point that moves with a wave at constant phase. Also known as celerity; phase speed; wave celerity; wave speed., wave velocity.
What is the velocity of a wave with a frequency of 760 Hz and wavelength of .45?
The answer depends on the units used for .45 and since these are not given, there cannot be a sensible answer.
Is wave amplitude related to wave velocity?
No.
What is velocity of a wave?
How quickly the wave travels
How do wavelength and periods relate?
Wavelength*Frequency = Velocity of the wave. or Wavelength/Period = Velocity of the wave.
