Understanding the Relationship

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

v = fλ

Calculations

1. Given:

* Frequency (f) = 2.0 Hz

* Wavelength (λ) = 0.50 meters

2. Substitute the values into the equation:

v = (2.0 Hz) * (0.50 m)

3. Calculate the speed:

v = 1.0 m/s

Answer

The speed of the wave along the string is 1.0 m/s.
