A science class is experimenting with waves on a long spring. When the students shake one end of the spring, the wave they create has a frequency of 5Hz. The wavelength of the wave traveling through the spring is 0.8m.

What is the wave speed of the wave traveling through the spring?

Wave Speed=5×0.8=4 m/s
