The maximum particle velocity is equal to four times the wave velocity if. Which equations could be used as is or rearranged to calculate for frequency of a 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 formula we are going to practice today is the wave speed equation.
V distance travelled time taken l T. Wave speed v is measured in metres per second ms frequency f. What is the equation when you want frequency and you know velocity and wavelength. Thus the speed of the wave v is.
