speed = frequency * wavelength. since your frequency units are in hz and wavelength is in cm, the speed will be in cm/s. if you need to convert to SI units, you can simply divide the result by 100 cm/m to get the units in m/s.

Joe348:

The formula for wavelength is : \[v \div f\] V= Velocity F= Frequency \[v= 10 m/s\] \[f= 5Hz\] \[10 \div 5 =2\] Hope this helps!

the speed of the wave is 0.5 m/s.

speed = frequency x wavelength

speed = frequency x wavelength
where frequency is measured in hertz (Hz) and wavelength is measured in meters (m). However, in this problem, the wavelength is given in centimeters (cm), so we need to convert it to meters:

10.0 cm = 0.1 m

10.0 cm = 0.1 m
Now we can substitute the given values into the equation: speed = frequency x wavelength speed = 5.0 Hz x 0.1 m speed = 0.5 m/s
