The product of frequency and wavelength of a wave equals to:
Correct answer: C. Speed of the wave
- A. Displacement of the wave
- B. Amplitude of the wave
- C. Speed of the wave
- D. Time period of the wave
Explanation
As v= fλ So the product of frequency and wavelength is equal to speed of wave.

About Waves
Progressive waves transfer energy through oscillations, with wavelength, frequency, amplitude and wave speed related by v = fλ; sound speed depends on the medium. Superposition produces interference and stationary waves in strings and organ pipes, while simple harmonic motion describes the oscillation itself and must be distinguished from wave propagation.
