Wave Speed Calculator — Fórmula
## Wave Speed
Wave speed links the spatial and temporal characteristics of any periodic wave.
### Formula
**v = f * lambda**
where *f* is the number of oscillations per second and *lambda* is the distance between successive crests. This relationship holds for sound waves, light, water waves, and all other periodic disturbances.

Ejemplo Resuelto
A sound wave with frequency 440 Hz and wavelength 0.78 m.
- v = f * lambda
- v = 440 * 0.78
- v = 343.2 m/s
