Question

A string is waved up and down to create a wave pattern with a wavelength of 0.5 m. If the waves are generated with a frequency of 2 Hz, what is the speed of the wave that travels through the string to the other end?

Answer 1

Wave speed = (wavelength) x (frequency)

Wave speed = (0.5 m) x (2 /sec)

Wave speed = 1 m/s
