Understanding the Relationship

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

* v = λ * f

Calculation

1. Convert wavelength to meters: 10 mm = 0.01 meters

2. Plug in the values:

* v = 0.01 meters * 5.0 Hz

3. Calculate: v = 0.05 meters/second

Answer: The speed of the wave is 0.05 meters per second.
