Answer:

0.5 m/s

Explanation:

Here are some key formulae:

f=1/T

c=fλ

f=frequency

T=time period = 4

c= wavespeed (sometimes labelled as v)

λ=wavelength (lambda is the name of the symbol) = 2

I've also written in the values we know from the question.

(If you want more of an explanation, let me know)

1/T=f

so 1/4 = frequency

c=fλ

1/4 x 2 = 2/4 = 1/2 = 0.5

Don't forget units! (ms^(-1))

So your final answer is 0.5 m/s

Hope this Helps :)
