How frequency, wavelength, and speed relate in a wave

A wave's frequency (how many wave cycles pass a point per second), wavelength (the distance between repeating points on the wave), and speed are all mathematically related: a wave's speed equals its frequency multiplied by its wavelength. Because of this relationship, knowing any two of these three quantities lets you calculate the third.
