Determining the Speed of a Standing Wave - Demonstration

The video tutorial builds on previous lessons about standing wave patterns, focusing on how these patterns form at specific frequencies and wavelengths. It explains the relationship between frequency and wavelength, demonstrating how to calculate wave speed using the equation speed = frequency x wavelength. The tutorial includes practical examples and calculations to determine the average wave speed on a string. It also clarifies the difference between the speed of the wave and the motion of the string in standing wave patterns, emphasizing the role of constructive and destructive interference.
