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

    Formula:

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

    v = f * λ

    Given:

    * Frequency (f) = 10 kHz = 10,000 Hz

    * Wavelength (λ) = 2 m

    Calculation:

    v = (10,000 Hz) * (2 m)

    v = 20,000 m/s

    Answer:

    The speed of the wave is 20,000 meters per second.
