What is the relationship between wavespeed wavelength and frequency?
Wave speed = (Wavelength) times (frequency).
What is affected by the number of soundwaves?
The number of soundwaves, or any type of wave, is known as the frequency. You can use the V=Fλ equation to calculate the other properties of a wave (V = wavespeed, F = Frequency and λ = wave length). So really, if you change the frequency of a wave, you also change the wavespeed and the wavelength, as they are directly related by this equation.
What happens to the wave when you increase the wavelength?
More energy would be transferred in the wave, so a sound wave would get louder and a light wave would get brighter. The wavespeed, frequency, and wavelength of the wave will remain the same.
Calculate the speed of waves in a puddle that are 0.15 m apart and made by tapping the water surface twice?
Wavelength = 0.15 m Wavespeed = 0.15 . 2 = 0.3 m/s
What does wavespeed mean?
Wave speed is a Scientific term involving the study of waves which is defined as light travel and sound travel combined. Huh, not bad for a 12 year old 6th grader
How do you find frequency when it comes to waves?
frequency=wavespeed divided by wavelength.
How do you find the wavelength of a wave?
To get the wavelength of a wave simply divide the wavespeed with its frequency.
What is the relationship between wavespeed wavelength and frequency?
Wave speed = (Wavelength) times (frequency).
The speed at which a wave travels through water or other medium?
Phase velocity.
What is the equation for frequency wave speed and wave lenght?
Wavespeed = frequency x wavelength
What do you call the effects that occur when two waves of the same type are present at the same time and place?
the wavespeed

If the wavespeed is 1.5 then what is the unit?
It may be just about any unit of speed. You can't derive the unit from the number. In physics, it is quite common to measure speeds in meters/second, but it can be just about any other unit of speed as well.
How does wave speed change in different types of material?
Wave speed is equal to the square root of the tension divided by the mass per unit lenght (for a solid) i.e v=sqrt(F/(m/l) or the squareroot of the bulk modulus divided by its density (for a gas) i.e v=sqrt(B/p). So for different materials if F,m,l (for solid) or B or p (for gas) vary then wavespeed will vary accordingly.
