A wave has a frequency of 270 Hz and a wavelength of 60 m. What is the speed of the wave?

A. 0.022 m/s

B. 0.00062 m/s

c. 45 m/s

D. 1600 m/s

(none of the options is correct ... see below)

Explanation:

Recall that frequency, wavelength and speed are related by

Velocity (i. e speed) = frequency x wavelength

in our case

Speed = 270 Hz x 60m = 16,200 m/s
