What is the speed (v) of a wave that has a wavelength (λ) of 2 m and a frequency of 6 Hz? 2. Calculate the speed of a wave with a frequency of 2 Hz (2/s), amplitude of 3m, and a wavelength of 10 m. 3. If two wavelengths pass a given point each second, and the distance between wave crests is 3 m, what is the wave speed? 4. The lowest pitch that the average human can hear has a frequency of 20 Hz. If sound with this frequency has a wave speed of 340 m/s, what is its wavelength? 5. A bottlenose dolphin can hear sounds with frequencies up to 150,000 Hz. If the speed of sound in sea water is approximately 1,500 m/s, what is the wavelength? 6. Waves in the ocean are 6 m apart and pass a surfer every 2 s. What is the wave speed.
