Wave Calculator

Calculate wave properties including frequency, wavelength, wave speed, and period using the wave equation.

Wave Properties
Enter any two values to calculate the third
Wave Theory

Wave Equation:

v = f × λ

Where: v = wave speed, f = frequency, λ = wavelength

Period Formula:

T = 1 / f

Period is the inverse of frequency

Common Wave Speeds:

  • • Sound in air: ~343 m/s
  • • Light in vacuum: 3×10⁸ m/s
  • • Water waves: varies with depth
  • • Seismic waves: 1-14 km/s

Examples:

  • • Sound: 440 Hz × 0.78 m = 343 m/s
  • • Radio: 100 MHz, λ = 3 m
  • • Visible light: ~500 THz
