How to use this table

Find the row closest to your frequency and read across to the wave speed. For a value between two rows, the real figure sits between them — or enter your exact numbers in the Wave Speed Calculator for a precise answer.

Need a value that is not in the table? — the Wave Speed Calculator does it instantly, for free, with the formula and a worked example built in.

Frequently asked questions

Each cell is computed with the standard formula using exact arithmetic — the same calculation behind our Wave Speed Calculator — so every figure is accurate for the stated assumptions.

Yes. The table covers common frequency values; for any exact figure, enter your own numbers in the Wave Speed Calculator.
