Wave Speed Using Period

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 wavelength divided by the period.

Formula

QuantityVariable["v", "Speed"] == QuantityVariable["λ", "Wavelength"]/QuantityVariable["T", "Period"]

symbol description physical quantity
v wave propagation speed "Speed"
T period "Period"
λ wavelength "Wavelength"
