Calculate the frequency of the wave. In equation form If the crest of an ocean wave moves a distance of 20 meters in 10 seconds then the speed of the ocean wave is 20 ms. The Wave speed formula which involves wavelength and frequency is given by.
Divide the wave period by the wavelength.
Frequency refers to the number of wave cycles per second. Wave speed frequency wavelength. L is the wavelength. A wave has a frequency of 2000 Hz determine its period.
