Answer 1

Answer:

400 m/s

Explanation:

From the question;

• The frequency of the wave is 200 Hz
• Wavelength of the wave is 2 meters

We are required to calculate the speed of the wave;

• We need to know that the speed of the wave is calculated by multiplying frequency by the wavelength of the wave.
• That is, speed = wavelength × frequency

• In this case;

Speed of the wave = 200 Hz × 2 m

                               = 400 m/s

• Thus, the speed of the wave is 400 m/s
