Understanding the Relationship
The speed of a wave (v), its wavelength (λ), and its frequency (f) are related by the following equation:
* v = λ * f
Calculation
1. Given:
* Wavelength (λ) = 0.06 m
* Frequency (f) = 240 Hz
2. Substitute the values into the equation:
* v = 0.06 m * 240 Hz
3. Calculate:
* v = 14.4 m/s
Answer: The speed of the wave is 14.4 meters per second.
