Speed (v) = Wavelength (λ) x Frequency (f)
Where:
* v represents the speed of the wave.
* λ represents the wavelength of the wave, which is the distance between two consecutive crests or troughs.
* f represents the frequency of the wave, which is the number of waves passing a point in one second.
Important Notes:
* This equation applies to all types of waves, including sound waves, light waves, and water waves.
* The units for speed are typically meters per second (m/s).
* The units for wavelength are typically meters (m).
* The units for frequency are typically Hertz (Hz), which is equivalent to cycles per second.
Example:
If a wave has a wavelength of 2 meters and a frequency of 5 Hz, then its speed is:
v = λ x f
v = 2 m x 5 Hz
v = 10 m/s
Therefore, the speed of the wave is 10 meters per second.
