Question:
A transverse wave has a wavelength of 0.43 m and a frequency of 14 Hz. What is the wave speed?
Wave Speed:
A transverse wave is a wave in which the constituents or elements of the medium in which the wave is generated move in a direction perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave.
All propagating waves have a certain wave speed, a product of the frequency and wavelength of the wave.
