Question 24 • Spanish I - WL9603 B

Which equation should be used to calculate the speed of a wave?

Answer
A
speed = frequency x wavelength
B
speed = frequency x hertz
C
speed = period x wavelength
D
speed = period x hertz

Explanation

Wave speed is calculated by multiplying frequency by wavelength: speed = frequency × wavelength. Frequency is measured in hertz, and wavelength is a distance, so their product gives distance per unit time. Therefore, the correct choice is “speed = frequency × wavelength.”
