Wave speed: v = fλ
Change the frequency and wavelength to see the wave speed and the period of the wave.
Works in metric or imperial units.

Questions students ask
What happens to wavelength when frequency goes up?
If the speed stays the same (same medium), wavelength goes down: frequency and wavelength are inversely proportional.
What formula does it use?
v = fλ: speed (m/s) = frequency (Hz) × wavelength (m); period T = 1/f.
