Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To find the velocity of the wave, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Calculate the Frequency The frequency (f) of the wave can be calculated using the formula: \[ f = \frac{\text{Number of waves}}{\text{Time taken}} \] Given that the source produces 20 waves in 4 seconds: \[ f = \frac{20 \text{ waves}}{4 \text{ seconds}} = 5 \text{ Hz} \] ...
