Question

If a wave travels 16 meters in 2 seconds, what is its wave speed?

Answer 1

Wave speed is 8 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

• Wave speed or speed of the wave is given by the formula

v = distance traveled by the wave/time

• Here, distance traveled = 16 m and time = 2 s

⇒ Wave speed = 16/2 = 8 m/s
