Answer to Problem 1PLA

The equation that relates the speed, frequency and the wavelength of a waveis V=fλ.

Explanation of Solution

Write the equation to fine the velocity of the travelling wave

    V=fλ

Here, V is the speed of the wave, f is the frequency of the wave and λ is the wavelength of the wave.

The above equation relates the speed, frequency and the wavelength of a wave.

Conclusion:

Thus, the equation that relates the speed, frequency and the wavelength of a wave is V=fλ.
