A measure of how fast a wave is moving.

1 answer

The speed of a wave is determined by its frequency and wavelength. The speed of a wave can be calculated by multiplying the frequency of the wave by its wavelength. This equation is often expressed as:

Speed of wave = frequency x wavelength

The speed of a wave is usually measured in meters per second (m/s) or kilometers per hour (km/h). Different types of waves, such as light waves, sound waves, and ocean waves, can have different speeds depending on the medium through which they are traveling.
