Using the velocity of a wave formula
Speed of a wave formula ----- Speed = wavelength x frequency
v = l x f
where:
v = speed - measured in meters/second (m/s),
f = frequency - measured in hertz - (Hz),
l = wavelength - measured in meters (m).
Example:
A tuning fork has a frequency of 310 Hz. The wavelength of the sound produced by the tuning fork is 1.32 m. Calculate the speed of the wave.
