The video tutorial explains how to derive the equation for the speed of waves using the relationship between frequency and wavelength. It discusses the concepts of velocity, displacement, and vectors, and clarifies that wave speed is determined by the properties of the medium, not the amplitude, frequency, or wavelength. The tutorial demonstrates how to measure wave speed using different methods and highlights the inverse relationship between frequency and wavelength. The lesson concludes by reinforcing that the derived equation is a rearrangement of the velocity equation.
