The Relationship
The speed of a wave (v) is related to its wavelength (λ) and frequency (f) by the following equation:
* v = λ * f
Calculation
1. Wavelength (λ): 2 meters
2. Frequency (f): 5 Hertz (Hz)
Plug the values into the equation:
* v = 2 meters * 5 Hz
* v = 10 meters/second
Answer: The wave is traveling at a speed of 10 meters per second.
