Answer:
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.
