Answer:

192 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

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


c = f * \lambda

where

c is the velocity of the wave in m/s


\lambda is the wavelength in m

f is the frequency in Hz

From the question we have

c = 8 × 24 = 192

We have the final answer as

192 m/s

Hope this helps you
