A wave has a wavelength of 29 meters and frequency of 5 Hz. Determine the speed (in m/s) of this wave.
show formulas
The formula to calculate the speed (v) of a wave is given by:
v = λ * f
where v is the speed of the wave, λ is the wavelength, and f is the frequency.
Given:
λ = 29 meters
f = 5 Hz
Substitute the values into the formula:
v = 29 * 5
v = 145 m/s
Therefore, the speed of the wave is 145 m/s.
