How does wave speed relate to wavelength and period?
Wave speed = (wavelength)/(period)
Formula for wavelenghth?
Wave Speed multiplied by Wave Period = Wavelength
How do you calculate the speed of a wave?
you find out a waves speed by taking the wavelength and divide it by it's wave period or how long it takes for the wave to complete a full wavelength. This is what my textbook said. Speed=Wavelength ×Frequency
If a wave has a wavelength of 9 meters and a period of 0.006 what is the velocity of the wave?
The speed of the wave is equal to wavelength x frequency. You can calculate the frequency, in this case, as 1 / period.
What is the period of a wave with a wave speed of 50 meters per second and a wavelength of 10 milimeters?
Period = Wavelength/Speed = 10mm/50,000 mm/s = 1/5000 s or 0.0002 seconds
How does wave speed relate to wavelength and period?
Wave speed = (wavelength)/(period)
How wavelength and wave period can be used to calculate wave speed?
Just divide the wavelength by the wave period, and you've got the wave speed.

What is the formula for finding the frequency of a wave?
The wavelength of a wave is calculated using the formula: Wavelength = speed of the wave divided by the frequency of the wave. For radio waves and other wireless signals as well as the speed a signal travels along a wire, the speed of the wave is approximately 299,792,458 meters per second (the speed of light).
If a wave has a wavelength of 9 meters and a period of 0.006 what is the velocity of the wave?
The speed of the wave is equal to wavelength x frequency. You can calculate the frequency, in this case, as 1 / period.
What does dividing the wavelength by the wave period give you?
Wavelength is the distance between two successive crests or troughs in a wave. And time period is the time taken for the disturbance to move from one crest to the successive one. So wavelength/ wave period (time period) = speed of the wave.
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.
Formula for frequency of a wave?
frequency = (wave speed)/(wavelength) frequency = 1/(period)
What is the period of a wave with a wave speed of 50 meters per second and a wavelength of 10 milimeters?
Period = Wavelength/Speed = 10mm/50,000 mm/s = 1/5000 s or 0.0002 seconds
How are wave velocity frequency period and wavelength related?
Wave frequency can be calculated by dividing the speed of the wave (if we're talking about electromagnetic waves in vacuum, that would be the speed of light, c) by wavelength.
What is the distance of an ocean wave trough to trough?
That will be wavelength you can figure out the distance by doing this wavelength (m) ---------------------- Wave period (s)=wave speed (m/s)
