An elastic string is vibrated to produce a wave.
What type of wave is a wave on a string? (Choose from: Electromagnetic, Longitudinal, Transverse)
The wave has a frequency of 150 Hz150\text{ Hz}150 Hz and a wavelength of 0.24 m0.24\text{ m}0.24 m. Calculate the wave speed using the equation:
wave speed=frequency×wavelength \text{wave speed} = \text{frequency} \times \text{wavelength} wave speed=frequency×wavelengthWhat is the standard SI unit of wave speed?
