Question

To calculate the speed of wave, what two pieces of information do you need about the wave ?

help asap plz i’m being timed!!!

Answer 1

Wavelength and Frequency

Step-by-step explanation:

The speed of a wave can be related to the speed of an object which is calculated using:

`Speed = (Distance)/(Time)`

So: the speed of a wave (v) is calculated using:

`v = f * L`

Where:

`f= Frequency`

`L = Wavelength`

Frequency is calculated as:

`f = (1)/(T)`

Where:

`T = Period`

This means that the two basic information needed are the wavelength and the frequency of the wave
