===About Wave Speed===
: [[Wave Speed]] is measured in [[metres per second]].
: The '''wave speed''' states how quickly [[energy]] and [[information]] can be transferred by a [[wave]].
===Equation===
====Equation 1====
<math>v = \frac{x}{t}</math>
Where:
v = '''Wave Speed'''
x = distance traveled
t = time taken to travel
====Equation 2====
<math>v = f \lambda</math>
<math>v = f \times \lambda</math>
Where:
v = '''Wave Speed'''
f = [[frequency]] of the [[wave]]
λ = [[wavelength]] of the [[wave]]
==Key Stage 4==
===Meaning===
[[Wave Speed]] is how quickly a [[wave]] travels through a [[medium]].
===About Wave Speed===
: '''Wave speed''' is a [[scalar]] because it has [[magnitude]] only.
: The [[SI Unit]] of [[Wave Speed|wave speed]] is [[metres per second]].
: The '''wave speed''' states how quickly [[energy]] and [[information]] can be transferred by a [[wave]].
