  • Wave Speed Calculation: Frequency and Wavelength - Physics Problem
    Here's how to solve this problem:

    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.
