I am pretty sure that there are many formulae for working with waves. It also depends what type of waves you are working with. One important formula, that applies to all sorts of waves, is this simple relationship: speed (of the wave) = wavelength x frequency

What is the wave speed of a 500 Hz wave with wavelength of 0.5m?
Use the universal wave equation,v=fxlambdawhere v is velocity/speedf is frequencyand lambda is wavelengthv=(500)(0.5)= 250 m/s
How does changing the wavelength affect the speed of a wave?
The universal wave equation states that v = fλ, therefore wavelength is directly related to the speed of the wave. That means that if the frequency is increased, the speed is also increased and vice versa, as long as frequency is kept constant.
What is the equation used to find the speed of a wave?
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 is the formula of wave intensity?
Not sure what formula you are looking for. Wave intensity is given by the amplitude of the wave.
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
Which equation represents the formula for the speed of a wave?
A. speed=wevelength/weve period
What is the wave speed of a 500 Hz wave with wavelength of 0.5m?
Use the universal wave equation,v=fxlambdawhere v is velocity/speedf is frequencyand lambda is wavelengthv=(500)(0.5)= 250 m/s
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.

How do you messure wave speed?
Using the universal wave equation which is v=fλ where v is speed, f is frequency and λ is wavelength For example: If you have wavelength of 0.090m and the frequency of said wave is 4.5Hz, the speed would be: v=(4.5Hz)(0.090m) therefore v=0.405m/s The speed of the wave is 0.405m/s
What is the formula for wave speed?
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).
