The wavelength of one wave in the picture is about 2.7 cm. Using the frequency you measured above, what would the speed of the wave be in cm/s? Show your work.
(The frequency measured above was 5hz.)
To find the speed of the wave, we need to use the formula:
Speed = Wavelength x Frequency
Given that the wavelength is 2.7 cm and the frequency is 5 Hz, we can substitute these values into the formula:
Speed = 2.7 cm x 5 Hz
Calculating the product:
Speed = 13.5 cm/s
Therefore, the speed of the wave is 13.5 cm/s.
