Speed = (wavelength) x (frequency) = (2 x 6) = 12 meters per second.
That's the wave's speed. "Velocity" is something different, not just a word
to use when you mean "speed" but you want to sound more technical.
What is the velocity of a wave with a frequency of 20hertz and a wavelength of 5 meters?
The wave speed is (frequency) x (wavelength) = 342 meters per second.We can't describe its velocity, because we don't have any informtion aboutits direction, beamwidth, etc.
Wavelength = speed/frequency = 30/10 = 3 meters
Just multiply the wavelength (in meters) with the frequency (in Hertz) to get the speed (in m/s).
You get a speed. If the 'Hertz' is the frequency of a particular wave, and the 'meters' is the wavelength of the same wave, then their product is the speed of that wave.
The frequency is 1/5 = 0.2 Hertz. The wavelength is irrelevant in this question.
You can use the equation v=fw. that is velocity (in meters per second) equals the frequency (in hertz) times the wavelength (in meters). so you can find the velocity of a wave with the frequency and the wavelength.

Answer: frequency = 272 Hz. Given the wave velocity (speed of sound) and wavelength, find the frequency of the wave. Velocity = 340.0 m/s, Wavelength = 1.25 m. Formulas: Velocity = wavelength * frequency. Frequency = velocity / wavelength. Calculation: Frequency = (340.0 m/s) / (1.25 m) = 272 Hz. (Where Hertz = cycles / second.)
The equation to use in this case is:speed (of the wave) = wavelength x frequency If the frequency is in hertz, and the wavelength is in meters, the speed will be in meters/second.
Just divide the speed of light (in meters/second) by the frequency (in hertz) - that will give you the wavelength (in meters). You can then convert that to nm.
Wavelength = speed/frequency = 30/10 = 3 meters
Just multiply the wavelength (in meters) with the frequency (in Hertz) to get the speed (in m/s).

The frequency is 1/5 = 0.2 Hertz. The wavelength is irrelevant in this question.
The speed of any wave is the product of wavelength x frequency. In this case, because of the units chosen (meters, and hertz, which is equal to 1/second), the speed will come out in meters/second.
When the wavelength of a wave increases, the frequency decreases. When the wavelength decreases, the frequency decreases. These two values are said to be inversely proportional. Here is the equation for velocity of a wave: v = f λ where v = velocity (usually 3.0 x 108 meters/second2, which is the speed of light) f = frequency (usually in Hertz or 1/seconds) λ = wavelength (usually in nm or nanometers)
If you multiply the wavelength (in meters) and the frequency (in Hertz), you will get the speed of the wave (in meters per second).
