V=FxW. Work it out yourself? Pretty sure Google can do that calculation. It's really quite obvious when you think that you want the answer in mm/s.... First off you know the wave travels 0.11mm 2000 times every second. So it travels at 2000*0.11mm/s. The answer would be needed in m/s normally so convert 0.11mm into meters first.

What is velocity of waves?
(Wavelength) multiplied by (frequency).
What can be determine from the frequency and wavelength of a wave?
The velocity of the wave
How does a decrease in velocity affect the frequency and wavelength of the waves entering the shallow water?
The frequency stays the same and wavelength decreases
What are 4 basic properties of waves?
The fundamental descriptors of waves are, wavelength, frequency, amplitude, and velocity.
What is the formula for the Universal Wave Equation?
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 velocity of waves?
(Wavelength) multiplied by (frequency).
If the frequency is doubled then for waves what would be the wavelength and vlocity?
Frequency = Velocity divided by wavelength. So if frequency is doubled that means velocity is doubled but the wavelength is halved. You can see this by keeping wavelength a constant : If Frequency =1 and Wavelength= 1 1= Velocity/1 Velocity=1 If Frequency =2 and Wavelength= 1 2= Velocity/1 Velocity =2 OR keeping Velocity constant: If Frequency =1 and Velocity= 1 1= 1/Wavelength Wavelength =1 If Frequency =2 and Velocity= 1 2= 1/Wavelength Wavelength=1/2
If the frequency of waves increases what happens to the wavelength?
Velocity increases..
What can be determine from the frequency and wavelength of a wave?
The velocity of the wave
How do you find velocity when only the frequency is given?
The question is incomplete. Frequency of what? If it refers to electromagnetic waves, you won't need even frequency to determine velocity (in a vacuum), because it will always be c (the speed of light). You can compute the speed of other kinds of waves if you know the frequency and wavelength, but not from frequency alone. The formula is frequency x wavelength = velocity If the waves are electromagnetic, and you have only frequency, you can compute the wavelength using the same formula.

What is the difference between freqeuency and wavelength?
Frequency is how many cycles per second there are, while wavelength is the actual length of the wave from peak to peak or trough to trough. Frequency is related to wavelength, since the shorter the wavelength to more cycles per second (waves passing per second). Frequency is v/L where L is the wavelength and v is the phase velocity.

What is the frequency of the transverse waves?
The frequency of trransverse wavese is f=V/w, the velocity divided by the wavelength.
Which variable is directly proportional to frequency?
Frequency, when referring to waves, is directly proportional to the velocity of the wave. Frequency in inversely proportional to the wavelength.
What happens to the wavelength of a wave that slows down while retaining its original frequency?
As the basic formula of all types of waves is (Velocity of a wave=the product of the wavelength of it and its frequency). In this case, frequency of a certain wave is constant and the velocity is decreasing. And as the velocity is directly proportional to the wavelength, the wavelength of the wave shortens as a result.
