Answer:

Speed of the wave, v = 2.4 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Frequency of vibrations, f = 4 Hz

Wavelength of the transverse wave,
$\lambda=60\ cm=0.6\ m$

We need to find the speed of the waves along the wire. Let it is equal to v. So, the relationship is given by :

$v=f* \lambda$

v=4* 0.6

v = 2.4 m/s

So, the speed of waves along the wire is 2.4 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.
