  • Wave Speed Calculation: Frequency & Wavelength Explained
    Here's how to calculate the speed of a wave:

    The Formula

    The speed of a wave (v) is related to its frequency (f) and wavelength (λ) by the following equation:

    v = fλ

    Applying the Information

    * Frequency (f): 200 Hz

    * Wavelength (λ): 2.5 meters

    Calculation

    v = (200 Hz) * (2.5 m) = 500 m/s

    Answer

    The speed of the wave is 500 meters per second (m/s).
