frequency = wave speed / wavelength
Wave 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

Formula for frequency of a wave?
frequency = (wave speed)/(wavelength) frequency = 1/(period)
What is the formula of wave velocity?
velocity = frequency / wavelength, I believe.
How do you find the wavelength of a transverse wave?
wave length = wave speed divided by its frequency
What is the equation for frequency of a wave?
velocity = frequency multiply wavelength Rearrange the equation to find the frequency
How fast is a wave moving if its wave length is 10 meters and its frequency is 110 Hz?
The formula for a wave in this case is: speed = frequency x wavelength. Since Hz = 1/second, the answer will be in meter/second.
