Answer: Wavespeed (V) = Frequency F x wavelength λ (V = F λ)
Explanation:
The wavespeed is the distance covered by a wave in one second. It is measured in metre per second, and represented by the symbol V. It is directly proportional to the wavelength and frequency
i.e Velocity (V) = Frequency F x wavelength λ
V = F λ
For instance:
Assume wavelength (λ)= 20 m
Frequency = 10 Hz.
To get the wavespeed, use the formula
V = F λ
V = 20 metres x 10 hertz
V = 200 metres per second
Thus, the wave travels at a speed of 200 metres per second
