ash2326 · Answer

Speed of a wave is the product of wavelength and frequency.
$$\huge Speed ( m/s)= \lambda(meters) \times \nu(/s)$$
Can you find now?

@BazBendell did you understand? Can you do it?

I have no idea what that mean't.

ash2326 · Answer

$$ \lambda= wavelength= 0.5m$$

$$\nu =  frequency=32 hz$$
$$Speed=\lambda \times \nu$$
$$Speed=0.5 \times 32= 16 m/s$$
