V is the wave speed in metres per second ms. The following formula is used to calculate the speed or velocity of a wave. V f l.
Where V is the speed F is the frequency and W is the wavelength so very clearly the speed of this wave is 43 12 ms.
Wave speed is the distance a wave travels in a given amount of time such as the number of meters it travels per second. Also introduces how to use the formula triangle and WISE method to s. Speed of the wave frequency x wavelength If you know any two of these pieces of information you can calculate the third one. F is the frequency of the wave.
