How do you find wave length and speed when none is given but frequency is given?

Well, do you know what kind of wave they're talking about ? I mean, is it sound ?
Is it electromagnetic, like light or radio ? If it's one of those, then you know the
speed, and with speed and frequency, you can calculate wavelength.
If it's just a question on a piece of paper that says "There's a wave and it has this
frequency, what is it's speed ?", then no answer is possible ... you have one measly
piece of information and everything else is unknown.

How do you find the wavelength of a transverse wave?
wave length = wave speed divided by its frequency
What is the formula to find the frequency of a wave?
frequency = wave speed / wavelengthWave length equals phase speed divided by frequency. So let L be length, S be speed and F be frequency. We usually use letters such as lamda, but L will work.L=S/F so FL=S and F=S/L. The frequency is the phase speed divided by the wave length.If it is an electromagnetic wave in a vacuum, then velocity is approximately 3 x 108 meters/second
How do you find the frequency of a wavelength?
Frequency = (speed) / (wavelength)
How do you find the frequency in frequency table if the given is percent of total?
find the frequency before finding the percent total -_- :)
How do you find the wave speed from frequency and the wavelenghts?
speed= frqquency*wavelength
What is the equation used to find the speed of sound?
Speed = Frequency * Wave length.
How do you find the wavelength of a transverse wave?
wave length = wave speed divided by its frequency
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 .
How do you calculate light wavelength to frequency?
To find (wavelength): Divide (speed) by (frequency). To find (frequency): Divide (speed) by (wavelength).
What is the formula to find the frequency of a wave?

The frequency is the phase speed divided by the wave length.If it is an electromagnetic wave in a vacuum, then velocity is approximately 3 x 108 meters/second
How do you find wavelength of a wave?
The speed of a wave equals the frequency times the wavelength (speed = frequency x wavelength). Therefore, the wavelength would equal the speed divided by the frequency. Also, the speed of a wave in a vacuum is the speed of light, c, which is a constant.
How do you find the frequency of a wavelength?
Frequency = (speed) / (wavelength)
How do you find speed when given acceleration and time?
The speed at the end of the time is (speed at the beginning of the time) plus (acceleration x length of time)
How do you find missing frequency if median and mode are given?
How do you find missed frequency if median and mode are given
How can you find out speed of sound with help of a resonance tube?
With a fork of known frequency, the first resonating length is found. Then by lowering down the level of water in the resonance column tube the second resonating length is found. This secondlength will be approximately three times the first resonating length Now using the following formula one can calcualte the speed of sound. Speed of sound = 2 x frequency x (Second length - first length)
How do you find wavelength when distance is given?
Wavelength = speed divided by frequency. Speed = distance divided by time. Therefore: Wavelength = distance divided by (frequency x time). You therefore need to know the frequency of the wave and the time it takes to travel in unit time.
How could you find the wavelength of light if you knew its speed and frequency?
Wavelength times frequency is the speed. To know the wavelength, you have to divide the speed by the frequency of the light.
