Understanding the Relationship

* Speed (v): How fast a wave travels.

* Wavelength (λ): The distance between two consecutive crests (or troughs) of a wave.

* Period (T): The time it takes for one complete wave cycle to pass a given point.

The relationship between these is:

Speed (v) = Wavelength (λ) / Period (T)

Calculation

1. Given:

* Wavelength (λ) = 6.0 m

* Period (T) = 4.0 s

2. Apply the formula:

* v = 6.0 m / 4.0 s

3. Solve:

* v = 1.5 m/s

Answer: The speed of the wave is 1.5 meters per second.
