Mr. Andersen explains wave speed in AP Physics Essentials video 107. He discusses how wave speed is calculated using wavelength and period, and how it varies with the medium. Through simulations, he demonstrates the effect of tension on wave speed. Practical examples and problems are provided to reinforce the concepts, including the relationship between wavelength and frequency. The video concludes with a challenge to calculate wave speed using given data.
