  • Wave Speed Calculation: Formula & Example
    Here's how to calculate the speed of a wave:

    The Formula

    The speed of a wave is calculated using the following formula:

    * Speed (v) = Wavelength (λ) x Frequency (f)

    Applying the Formula

    1. Wavelength (λ): 0.2 meters

    2. Frequency (f): 1.5 Hz

    3. Speed (v) = 0.2 m x 1.5 Hz = 0.3 meters per second (m/s)

    Therefore, the speed of the wave is 0.3 meters per second.
