You can calculate the speed of a wave by using the formula below.
𝑣=𝑓λ
In other words, wave speed or velocity (𝑣) is equal to frequency (𝑓) multiplied by wavelength (λ).
The unit for wave speed velocity (𝑣) is meters/second (m/s), the unit for frequency (𝑓) is hertz (hz) and the unit for wavelength (λ) is meters (m).
I don't get it.
GOT IT!
