Question
The formula for finding the speed of a wave is: v = f * λ
v=speed
f= frequency(HZ)
λ= wavelength(usually in meters)
With the help of their science teacher, Kaden and Mariam made a machine that can move a slinky back and forth. This motion creates a fast-moving wave in the slinky. The image shows a model of a wave that is generated by the machine. The frequency of the wave modeled in the image is 4 Hz.

To calculate the speed of the wave using the formula \( v = f \times \lambda \), we need to know both the frequency (\( f \)) and the wavelength (\( \lambda \)).
You mentioned that the frequency (\( f \)) of the wave is 4 Hz. However, the wavelength (\( \lambda \)) is not provided in your question. Without the value of the wavelength, we cannot calculate the speed of the wave.
If you have the wavelength, please provide it, and I can help you find the speed of the wave. Otherwise, the formula remains:
\[ v = 4 \, \text{Hz} \times \lambda \]
So, if you find out the value of \( \lambda \) in meters, you can substitute it into the equation to find the speed \( v \).
