To find the speed of a wave, you can use the formula:
\[ \text{speed} = \text{frequency} \times \text{wavelength} \]
Where:
- Speed (v) is measured in meters per second (m/s),
- Frequency (f) is measured in hertz (Hz),
- Wavelength (λ) is measured in meters (m).
Given:
- Frequency (f) = 600 Hz
- Wavelength (λ) = 2 m
Steps to solve:
-
Write down the formula: \[ v = f \times \lambda \]
-
Substitute the given values into the formula: \[ v = 600 , \text{Hz} \times 2 , \text{m} \]
-
Calculate the wave speed: \[ v = 1200 , \text{m/s} \]
Conclusion:
The speed of the wave is 1200 m/s.
