This frequency of a wave reference table shows the frequency for a range of wave speed values, assuming a wavelength of 6 m. Every figure is computed with the same engine that powers our Frequency of a Wave Calculator, so the numbers are exact.
| Wave speed | Frequency |
|---|---|
| 75 m/s | 12.5000 |
| 150 m/s | 25.0000 |
| 230 m/s | 38.3333 |
| 300 m/s | 50.0000 |
| 450 m/s | 75.0000 |
| 600 m/s | 100.0000 |
| 900 m/s | 150.0000 |
| 1,500 m/s | 250.0000 |
| 2,100 m/s | 350.0000 |
| 3,000 m/s | 500.0000 |
How to use this table
Find the row closest to your wave speed and read across to the frequency. For a value between two rows, the real figure sits between them — or enter your exact numbers in the Frequency of a Wave Calculator for a precise answer.
Need a value that is not in the table? — the Frequency of a Wave Calculator does it instantly, for free, with the formula and a worked example built in.
