Calculating wave speed Wave speed equation The speed of a wave is related to its frequency and wavelength , according to this equation: v = f × λ where: v is the wave speed in metres per second, m/s ...

In National 5 Physics examine the properties of waves and use the wave equation, v = f λ, to relate the speed, frequency and wavelength.

Speed of a longitudinal wave in an ideal gas (Newton’s Formula) - Laplace Correction (Modification of Newton’s formula) - Principle of Superposition of Waves - Reflected Wave at a rigid boundary - ...

Use the wave speed formula to approximate the tsunami's speed. After calculating the speed, use your atlas to estimate distances from the tsunami's epicenter to each location.
