The video tutorial explains how to measure the speed of a wave on a wire. It begins with a theoretical overview of wave behavior, including the formation of stationary waves. The experiment setup is demonstrated, where a wire is made to vibrate using an AC supply and a magnet. Liam conducts the experiment, adjusting the wire length to form stationary waves and measuring the distance to calculate the wave speed. The results show a wave speed of 39 meters per second, concluding the tutorial.
