8. A water wave has a frequency of 2 Hz and a wavelength of
5 m. How fast does it travel through the water?

Answer 1

10m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Given parameters:

Frequency of wave = 2Hz

Wavelength = 5m

Unknown:

Speed of the wave = ?

Solution:

The speed of a wave is derived from the product of wavelength and frequency;

speed = frequency x wavelength

Insert the parameters and solve;

speed =2 x 5 = 10m/s
