RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN WAVE VELOCITY, FREQUENCY AND WAVELENGTH
Don't forget to answer the quiz at the bottom of this post.

(*)
The relationship between velocity, wavelength and frequency:

frequency = velocity / wavelength
Rearranging the above formula: velocity = frequency x wavelength

v = fλ  

Example:

A wave with wavelength of 0.01 m produced by a slinky spring vibrating at frequency 8 Hz. Calculate the wave velocity:
remember:
v = fλ

using f = 8 Hz, λ= 0.01 m

therefore:
v = 8(0.01)
     = 0.08 m/s
