To find the speed of a wave, you need to know the frequency of the wave (number of oscillations per second) and the wavelength of the wave (distance between two consecutive points in phase). The speed of a wave is calculated by multiplying the frequency of the wave by its wavelength.

Formula to find frequency?

It depends on what information you have: whether you know the wave function or you know the speed and wavelength.


How do you find wave speed?

To estimate the speed of a wave, a person can estimate the distance the wave is from shore and then time how long the wave takes to reach the shore. For example, if a wave is one mile out and it takes one minute to reach shore, the wave is traveling at 60 miles per hour.


How do you find the wave speed with the wavelength and amplitude?

Not enough information. You can use the equation speed = frequency x wavelength, but in this case, you don't have enough data to calculate the speed.


How to find the frequency of a wave using its wavelength?

To find the frequency of a wave using its wavelength, you can use the formula: frequency speed of the wave / wavelength. The speed of the wave is a constant value, so you can divide the speed by the wavelength to calculate the frequency.


How do you find the wavelength of a transverse wave?

wave length = wave speed divided by its frequency


How can you find the wavelength if the wave speed is not known?

In that case, it would be useful to know what you DO know. You can use the formula speed of wave = frequency x wavelength, and if you know two of the three pieces of information, you can calculate the third one. Otherwise, you don't have enough information; you may need to actually measure the wave for example.


How do you find the wave speed from frequency and the wavelenghts?

How do you find wave period with wavelength and wave speed?

Wave period can be found by dividing the wavelength by the wave speed. The formula is: Period = Wavelength / Wave Speed. The period represents the time it takes for one wave cycle to pass a given point.


How do you find a wave's speed?

v=fλ where f is the frequency, and λ is the wavelength


What is the equation used to find the speed of sound?

Speed = Frequency * Wave length.


What is the time needed for one wave to pass?

The time needed for one wave to pass is called the period. It is the time it takes for one complete cycle of the wave to pass a given point. The period can be calculated by dividing the wavelength by the wave speed.
