![**Question:** What is the velocity of a wave that has a frequency of 2 Hz and a 3 meter wavelength?
**Answer Box:** [ ] m/s
**Navigation:** Page 6 of 7
---
**Explanation:**
To find the velocity of a wave, use the formula:
\[ \text{Velocity} = \text{Frequency} \times \text{Wavelength} \]
Given:
- Frequency = 2 Hz
- Wavelength = 3 meters
\[ \text{Velocity} = 2 \, \text{Hz} \times 3 \, \text{m} = 6 \, \text{m/s} \]
Therefore, the velocity of the wave is 6 meters per second.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2Faca2f6e6-2ec6-4d50-a0ff-3b95fc041823%2F98883978-cf56-4dc6-af2a-b5fbb13e67ba%2Fkfg49m_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
