If a sound wave is traveling 2.5 meters and it takes 0.0073 seconds what is its frequency and wavelength?
There isn't enough information in this question. You can calculate the speed of the wave (distance divided by time), which is the frequency times the wavelength. But you still need one of them to find the other.
How do you calculate wave speed given the wavelength and the depth?
Wave speed = (wavelength) x (frequency) "Depth" (?) is not involved.
How do you calculate the period of a wave from its frequency?
T=Period F=frequency T=1/F Period=1/F
How do you solve for the speed of the wave give the formula?
One commonly used formula for waves is: speed (of the wave) = frequency x wavelength If you know any two of these pieces of information, you can calculate the third one.
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.
