Question

What is the formula for calculating wave velocity?

Answer 1

The formula for calculating wave velocity.

The wave's velocity equals the product of its wavelength and frequency (number of vibrations per second) and is independent of its intensity.

The formula is shown below:

$\mathrm{V}=\mathrm{f}\times \mathrm{\lambda }$

Where,

• Wave speed $\mathrm{v}$ in $\frac{\mathrm{m}}{\mathrm{s}}$.
• Frequency $\left(f\right)$ in $\left(\mathrm{Hz}\right)$.
• Wavelength $\lambda$ in $\left(\mathrm{m}\right)$.

Hence, the formula for calculating wave velocity is $\mathrm{v}=\mathrm{f}\times \mathrm{\lambda }$.
