Wave Calculator

Calculate wave properties using the formula v = f × λ. Enter any two values to find the third.

Calculate Wave Properties

Enter any two values, and the third will be calculated automatically.

Wave Equation

v = f × λ

Where:

  • v = wave velocity (m/s)
  • f = frequency (Hz)
  • λ = wavelength (m)

Example Calculations
