This wave speed reference table shows the wave speed for a range of frequency values, assuming a wavelength of 6 m. Every figure is computed with the same engine that powers our Wave Speed Calculator, so the numbers are exact.
| Frequency | Wave speed |
|---|---|
| 13 Hz | 78.0000 |
| 25 Hz | 150.0000 |
| 38 Hz | 228.0000 |
| 50 Hz | 300.0000 |
| 75 Hz | 450.0000 |
| 100 Hz | 600.0000 |
| 150 Hz | 900.0000 |
| 250 Hz | 1,500.0000 |
| 350 Hz | 2,100.0000 |
| 500 Hz | 3,000.0000 |
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.
