A wave has a frequency of 5 Hz and a wavelength of 0.5 m, what is the speed of this wave?

2.5 m/s

Explanation:

The speed of a wave can be found using the following formula.

v= λ * f

where  λ is the wavelength in meters (m) and f is the frequency of the wave in Hertz (Hz).

We know the wavelength is 0.5 m and the frequency of the wave is 5 Hz.

Therefore,

λ= 0.5 m

f = 5 Hz

v= 0.5 * 5

Multiply 0.5 by 5, or divide 5 by 2.

0.5 * 5= 2.5     or      5/2=2.5

v= 2.5

Add appropriate units. The units for wave speed are m/s (meters per second).

v= 2.5 m/s

The speed of the wave is 2.5 meters per second.

okay i have so many questions. but the big one here is: um wt..f is this mess? ?

this is a good question! i'll do some research and come back when i have the answer!
