Answer:

32.5 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

The wavelength and the frequency of a wave are related by the so-called wave equation:


v=f\lambda

where

v is the speed of the wave

f is the frequency of the wave


\lambda is the wavelength of the wave

In this problem, we have:


\lambda=0.5 m is the wavelength of the wave

f = 65 Hz is the frequency of the wave

Substituting into the formula, we find the wave speed:


v=(65)(0.5)=32.5 m/s
