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

    The Relationship

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

    v = λf

    Calculations

    * Wavelength (λ): 0.010 m

    * Frequency (f): 60 Hz

    * Speed (v): (0.010 m) * (60 Hz) = 0.6 m/s

    Answer

    The speed of the wave is 0.6 meters per second.
