Formula:

The speed of a wave (v) is calculated by multiplying the frequency (f) by the wavelength (λ):

v = f * λ

Given:

* Frequency (f) = 6 waves/second (or 6 Hz)

* Wavelength (λ) = 8 meters

Calculation:

v = 6 waves/second * 8 meters

v = 48 meters/second

Answer:

The speed of the wave is 48 meters per second.
