A common property of all waves is the relationship between the speed (v), the wavelength ($\lambda$), and the frequency of the wave (f). The correct equation for this relationship is which of the following?
A) "$\lambda$ = vf"
B) "f = v$\lambda$"
C) "v = f/$\lambda$"
D) "v = f$\lambda$"

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The correct equation that describes the relationship between the speed (v), wavelength (λ), and frequency (f) of a wave is $v = f \lambda$. This equation states that the speed of a wave is equal to its frequency multiplied by its wavelength.
