In order to find the correct answer, let's analyze the correct formula that relates the speed, wavelength and period (or frequency) of a wavelength:


\begin{gathered} v=\lambda\cdot f\\ \\ f=(1)/(T)\\ \\ v=(\lambda)/(T) \end{gathered}

Since it's more common to identify a wave by its frequency, the first formula is more used:

The speed is equal to the waveength tmultiplied by the frequency.

Correct option: B.
