What is the frequency of a wave that has a wave speed of 120 m/s and a wavelength of 0.40m?

120= Frequency X 0.40. You then divide 120 by .4 to get your frequency of 300.

The equation that relates frequency of a wave to a waves speed and wavelength is Speed of Wave= Frequency X Wavelength. Since you are given speed and wavelength, you plug those two known numbers into the equation, 120= Frequency X 0.40. You then divide 120 by .4 to get your frequency of 300.
