Wave Speed Using Frequency

The phase velocity of a wave is the rate at which the phase of the wave propagates in space.

The wave propagation speed equals the frequency times the wavelength.

Formula

QuantityVariable["v", "Speed"] == QuantityVariable["λ", "Wavelength"]*QuantityVariable["ν", "Frequency"]

symbol description physical quantity
v wave propagation speed "Speed"
λ wavelength "Wavelength"
ν frequency "Frequency"
