What is wave speed ?
Generally wave speed is the velocity, or change per unit time with distance, in the direction in which a wave is moving. Like when you throw a stone into a pond the waves or waves of water move on the surface of the water to the outer from where you threw the stone.
Again, to put it more simply, wave speed is the speed at which a wave propagates. We can also define it as the distance traveled by the wave in a given time interval
Wave speed Formula :
V= f * w
Volume Formula:
Volume = Length × Width × Height
Explanation:
V = velocity (m/s)
F = Frequency (Hz)
W= wave length (m)
