Answer:

120 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

v = wl * f = 12 m * 10 /s = 120 m /s

Answer:


\huge{ \bold{120 \: m/s}}

Step-by-step explanation:

The velocity of the wave given it's wavelength and frequency can be found by using the formula


\bold{c = f * \lambda}

c is the velocity

f is the frequency


\lambda is the wavelength

From the question

f = 10 Hz


\lambda = 12 m

We have


c = 10 * 12 = 120

We have the final answer as

120 m/s

Hope this helps you
