  • Wave Velocity Calculation: Frequency & Wavelength Explained
    Here's how to calculate the velocity of a wave:

    The Relationship

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

    * v = fλ

    Applying the Information

    * Frequency (f) = 6 Hz

    * Wavelength (λ) = 2 m

    Calculation

    * v = (6 Hz) * (2 m)

    * v = 12 m/s

    Therefore, the velocity of the wave is 12 meters per second.
