Understanding the Relationship
The speed of a wave (v) is related to its wavelength (λ) and frequency (f) by the following equation:
v = λ * f
Calculations
1. Given:
* Wavelength (λ) = 45.0 meters
* Frequency (f) = 9.00 Hz
2. Substitute the values into the equation:
v = (45.0 meters) * (9.00 Hz)
3. Calculate the speed:
v = 405 meters/second
Answer: The speed of the wave is 405 meters per second.
