Wavelength*Frequency = Velocity of the wave. or
Wavelength/Period = Velocity of the wave.

The product of (wavelength) times (frequency) is the speed.
The product of (wavelength x frequency) is the wave's speed.
The speed of any wave is the product of (wavelength) x (frequency) .
Wavelength relates to speed , since wavelength is the distance between the repeating of a wave , thus speed affects the distance . The faster the smaller the wavelength.Frequency is the number of occurrences of a repeating event per unit time.Waves with higher frequencies have shorter wavelengths.
Speed of wave (e.g. m/s) = wavelength (m) x number of waves per second (Hz) So you can figure out any one of speed, wavelength or frequency if you know the other two. Often, you know the speed (e.g. light, 3x10^8 m/s, or sound, 340 m/s).
