Answer:

The speed of the wave = 12.0 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

The frequency along a coiled spring toy, f = 20 Hz

The distance between two successive compressions is the wavelength of the wave

The wavelength, λ = 0.600 m

The speed of the wave is given as:

v = λf

v = 20(0.6)

v = 12.0 m/s

The speed of the wave = 12.0 m/s
