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.

What equation is used to measure wave speed?
speed= frequency x wavelength
What is the speed equation for waves?
wave speed= wave length * frequencyv=fa
The wave equation says that a wave's is equal to its wavelength times its frequency?
A wave equation is an equation that repeats y-values infinately creating a wave like pattern, a good example is the sine wave: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sine_wave
If The wavelength of a wave is multiplied by the frequency of the wave is the wave's?
The last bit of your question confused me a little!? :P ... But I think you are referring to the 'The Wave Equation'. Wave Speed (v) in m/s = Frequency (f) in Hz * Wave Length (λ) in m This equation relates the speed of a wave to its frequency and wavelength
A wave has a wavelength of 1.2 m and a frequency of 3 Hz What is the wave speed?
apex - 3.6 . to find the wave speed you multiply the frequency and the wave length .
What is the equation used to find the speed of sound?
Speed = Frequency * Wave length.
What equation is used to measure wave speed?
speed= frequency x wavelength
What is the equation for calculating wave speed?
wave speed= frequency/wavelenth
What is wave speed equation?
Wave speed wavelength times frequency.
What is the speed equation for waves?
wave speed= wave length * frequencyv=fa
How do you use Rydberg's equation?
Rydberg's equation is used to find wave length of spectral lines.
What is the equation for frequency?
Frequency = Wave speed / Wavelength.
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.
Which equation represents the formula for the speed of a wave?
A. speed=wevelength/weve period
The wave equation says that a wave's is equal to its wavelength times its frequency?
A wave equation is an equation that repeats y-values infinately creating a wave like pattern, a good example is the sine wave: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sine_wave
What is the formula to find the wavelength of a wave in a vacuum?
The wave speed equation proposes that: v = fw; where "v" is the wave's velocity, "f" is the wave's frequency, and "w" (more notably used as lambda) is the wave's wavelength. Manipulating the equation and solving for wavelength yields: w = v/f. Thus, if one knows both the velocity and frequency of a wave, he/she can divide velocity by frequency to determine the corresponding wave's wavelength.
What is the equation for frequency wave speed and wave lenght?
Wavespeed = frequency x wavelength
