Answer:

v=700 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The frequency of a wave is 35 Hz and its wavelength is 20 m

We need to find the speed of the wave. Let it is v. It is given in terms of frequency and wavelength as follows :


v=f\lambda\\\\v=35* 20\\\\v=700\ m/s

So, the velocity of the wave is 700 m/s.
