V distance travelled time taken l T. However f 1 T. Therefore the wave period is 00005 seconds.
Thus in a time of 1 period the wave will travel 1 wavelength in distance.
Wave speed is related to wavelength and wave frequency by the equation. Consider a small element of the string with a mass equal to. We get wave period by dividing the wavelength by the wave speed. Wave speed v is measured in metres per second ms frequency f is measured in Hertz Hz wavelength l is measured in.
