Question 7 • Physical Science

What is the speed of a wave with a frequency of 2 Hz and a wavelength of 87 m ?

Answer
A
0.023 meters per second
B
89 meters per second
C
174 meters per second
D
43.5 meters per second

Explanation

Wave speed is frequency multiplied by wavelength: v = fλ. Using 2 Hz and 87 m gives v = 2 × 87 = 174 m/s. The correct choice is 174 meters per second.
