Other contributors have said "How can you determine the velocity of a wave?" is the same question as "What is the equation to determine the velocity of a wave?" If you believe that these are not asking the same thing and should be answered differently, click here
What is the equation to determine the velocity of a wave?
The velocity of pressure and shear waves through a solid is dependent on the elastic properties and density of the material through which the wave is travelling. The pressure wave velocity (VP) can...
You can use the equation v=fw. that is velocity (in meters per second) equals the frequency (in hertz) times the wavelength (in meters). so you can find the velocity of a wave with the frequency and...
A wave equation is an equation that repeats y-values infinately creating a wave like pattern, a good example is the sine wave: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sine_wave

Where:
Vt = terminal velocity
m = mass of the falling object
g = acceleration due to gravity (~9.88ms-2)
Cd = drag...
