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

    Understanding the Relationship

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

    * v = fλ

    Calculations

    1. Given:

    * Frequency (f) = 3.50 Hz

    * Wavelength (λ) = 0.700 m

    2. Substitute the values into the equation:

    * v = (3.50 Hz) * (0.700 m)

    3. Calculate the speed:

    * v = 2.45 m/s

    Answer:

    The speed of the periodic wave disturbance is 2.45 m/s.
