Wave speed = frequency x wavelength
= 50 x 0.1
= 5 m/s

Hope this helps!

Answer:

The wave speed that has a frequency of 50hz and a wavelength of 0.10m is 5
(m)/(s)

Step-by-step explanation:

The wavelength is the minimum distance between two points of the wave that are in the same state of vibration.

Frequency is the number of vibrations that occur in a unit of time.

The speed at which a wave travels is called wave speed In other words, the speed of propagation of a wave is the speed with which the wave propagates in the middle. Relate wavelength (λ) and frequency (f) using the following equation:

v = f * λ

where the units are:

  • v:
    (m)/(s)
  • f: Hz
  • λ : m

So, in this case:

v= 50 Hz*0.10 m

v=5
(m)/(s)

The wave speed that has a frequency of 50hz and a wavelength of 0.10m is 5
(m)/(s)
