To find the speed of a wave, you can use the formula:
\[
\text{Speed} = \text{Frequency} \times \text{Wavelength}
\]
Given:
- Frequency (f) = 0.6 Hz
- Wavelength (λ) = 12 m
Now, substitute the values into the formula:
\[
\text{Speed} = 0.6 \, \text{Hz} \times 12 \, \text{m} = 7.2 \, \text{m/s}
\]
Therefore, the speed of the wave is **7.2 m/s**.
\[
\text{Speed} = \text{Frequency} \times \text{Wavelength}
\]
Given:
- Frequency (f) = 0.6 Hz
- Wavelength (λ) = 12 m
Now, substitute the values into the formula:
\[
\text{Speed} = 0.6 \, \text{Hz} \times 12 \, \text{m} = 7.2 \, \text{m/s}
\]
Therefore, the speed of the wave is **7.2 m/s**.
