1). Frequency = (speed) / (wavelength)
2). Wavelength = (speed) / (frequency)
3). Speed = (frequency) x (wavelength)
Use #3:
Wavelength = (35 cm/s) / (25 Hz) = 1.4 cm

What three quantities are used to describe a wave?
Amplitude, speed, and wavelength or frequency. (Wavelength and frequency are related by the wave's speed.)
What property of a wave describes its length?
Frequency can help to describe wavelength, since they are inversely proportional to one another.
What is describe by the frequency of a wave?
The number of waves that pass a point in 1 second
What is a way to describe the wavelength of a wave?
The wavelength is the distance from crest to crest, or trough to trough, of a cyclic wave. It can be calculated from the number of waves within a unit length, and is the inverse of the frequency, which represents the number of waves for a unit time (usually waves/second or Hertz).
Describe the relationship between the wavelength and it's energy?
c is the speed of sound or the speed of light. You must know what you need. There is a relationship between the wavelength lambda and the frequency f. But forget the energy! c= lambda times f f is proportional to 1 / lambda. f = c / lambda lambda = c / f
Describe how the frequency of a wave changes as the wavelength changes?
it is directly proportional to frequency so if frequency increases wavelength also increases

Amplitude, speed, and wavelength or frequency. (Wavelength and frequency are related by the wave's speed.)
What qualities describe how electromagnetic is arranged in the spectrum?
They are arranged by their wavelength and their frequency.
Can you describe the parts of a sound wave?
Crest and Trough Amplitude Wavelength Frequency
What property of a wave describes its length?
Frequency can help to describe wavelength, since they are inversely proportional to one another.
What is the velocity of a wave with a frequency of 760 hertz and a wavelength of 0.45M?
The wave speed is (frequency) x (wavelength) = 342 meters per second.We can't describe its velocity, because we don't have any informtion aboutits direction, beamwidth, etc.
What is short wavelenght?
Generally the term "short wavelength" is used to describe light but it can be used for any wave. It means the distance between one wave front and another is only short. Given that, you might get the idea that "short wavelength" is a relative term. In radio, the term short wavelength is almost obsolete. If has been replaced by terms such as HF (High frequency) VHF (very high frequency) UHF (ultra high frequency) and so forth. The higher the frequency the shorter the wavelength. After radio waves, electromagnetic waves go to infrared, visible light, xrays then gamma rays as the wavelength gets shorter.
What is the frequency of a periodic wave if its wavelength is 2m and velocity is 12?
Frequency = (speed)/(wavelength) = 12/2 = 6 per second = 6 Hz.Note:The question doesn't give enough information to describe the velocity. "12" is nota velocity, but it can be a speed, and we've assumed that it is. Fortunately, 'speed'is all we need to answer the question.

What are three properties of waves?
There are different kinds of wave, such as sound waves, electromagnetic waves, water waves etc. So the first property I would describe as the wave medium. Then you would have the additional properties of amplitude and frequency.
Describe the relationship between the wavelength and it's energy?
c is the speed of sound or the speed of light. You must know what you need. There is a relationship between the wavelength lambda and the frequency f. But forget the energy! c= lambda times f f is proportional to 1 / lambda. f = c / lambda lambda = c / f
