The velocity at which the wave disturbance and its energy propagate, measured in metres per second (m/s).
Revise: Wave TermsAmplitude describes the size of the disturbance, period describes its timing, wave velocity describes how quickly it propagates and wavefronts show its position and direction of travel.
- Revise: Measuring Velocity
The distance travelled by a wave per unit time, including a direction; its magnitude is measured in metres per second (m/s).
