What is the equation used to find the speed of a wave?
Here is an equation that relates three quantities of any wave: speed = frequency x wavelength. However, I am pretty sure that usually, you'll have to somehow measure the speed of the wave, instead of calculating it. In other words, you would measure the speed and the frequency, and then use the formula to calculate the wavelength; or measure the speed and wavelength, and use the formula to calculate the frequency.
The wave equation says that a wave's is equal to its wavelength times its frequency?
A wave equation is an equation that repeats y-values infinately creating a wave like pattern, a good example is the sine wave: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sine_wave
A wave has a velocity of 300 ms and a wavelength of 3 m what is the frequency of wave?
Since the speed of the wave is equal to the wavelength times the frequency, all you need to do is divide the speed by the wavelength in this case.
What is the frequency of a wave that has a wavelength of 20 cm and a speed of 10 ms?
Convert the cm to meters, to have compatible units. Then use the fact that the frequency times the wavelength is equal to the speed of the wave. In this case, you can divide the speed by the wavelength, to get the frequency.
Which equation should be used to calculate the speed of a wave?
That would depend what information is available. One common equation is: speed = wavelength x frequency. However, in a practical situation, it may be easier to actually measure the wavelength and (for example) the frequency, and then make deductions about the wavelength, than the other way round.
The wave equation says that a waves speed is equal to its time its frequency?
The speed or velocity of a wave is equal to the wavelength times the frequency. The period (amount of time for one wavelength to occur) is equal to 1 over the frequency (the inverse of its frequency).
What is wave speed equation?
Wave speed wavelength times frequency.

When working with waves frequency times what equal speed?
wavelength

What is the frequency of a water wave that has a speed of 0.4 meter per second and a wavelength of 0.02 meter?
Divide the speed by the wavelength. (For any wave, the wavelength times the frequency is equal to the speed of the wave.)
What is the relationship between the frequency and wavelength of electromagnetic waves?
The product of (wavelength) times (frequency) is equal to the speed of the wave.
The wave question says that a wave speed is equal to its wavelength times its?
Frequency.
What does waveleghnt times frequeny always equal?
(wavelength) x (frequency) = wave speed
