To derive the relationship between wave velocity (v), frequency (n), and wavelength (λ), we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Definitions**: - **Wave Velocity (v)**: This is the speed at which the wave propagates through a medium. - **Frequency (n)**: This is the number of complete waves that pass a given point in one second. It is measured in Hertz (Hz). - **Wavelength (λ)**: This is the distance between two consecutive points that are in phase on the wave, such as crest to crest or trough to trough. ...
