उत्तर

A wave covers a distance equal to the wavelength (λ) during one period (T).
Therefore, the magnitude of the velocity (v) is given by,
Magnitude of velocity = `"Distance covered"/"Corresponding time"`

v = `lambda/"T"` i.e., v = `lambda xx (1/"T")`   ....(1)

But the reciprocal of the period is equal to the frequency (n) of the waves.

∴ `1/"T"` = n      ....(2)

From equations (1) and (2), we get
v = nλ
i.e., wave velocity = frequency × wavelength

∴ v = f × λ
