The Relationship
The velocity (v) of a wave is related to its wavelength (λ) and frequency (f) by the following equation:
v = λf
Calculation
1. Given:
* Wavelength (λ) = 0.03 m
* Frequency (f) = 120 Hz
2. Substitute into the equation:
v = (0.03 m) * (120 Hz)
3. Calculate:
v = 3.6 m/s
Answer
The velocity of the wave is 3.6 meters per second (m/s).
