Velocity of Progressive Wave using Frequency Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Velocity of Wave = Wavelength*Wave Frequency
V_w = λ*f_w
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Velocity of Wave - (Measured in Meter per Second) - The Velocity of Wave is equal to the product of its wavelength and frequency (number of vibrations per second) and is independent of its intensity.
Wavelength - (Measured in Meter) - Wavelength is the distance covered by the wave in one oscillation.
Wave Frequency - (Measured in Hertz) - Wave Frequency is number of waves that pass a fixed point in given amount of time. Wave frequency can be measured by counting number of crests of waves that pass the fixed point in given time period.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Wavelength: 0.4 Meter --> 0.4 Meter No Conversion Required
Wave Frequency: 90 Hertz --> 90 Hertz No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

V_w = λ*f_w --> 0.4*90

Evaluating ... ...

V_w = 36

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

36 Meter per Second --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

36 Meter per Second <-- Velocity of Wave

(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)
