"The speed of a wave depends upon"
The speed of a wave depends upon
a. the properties of the medium through which the wave travels
b. the wavelength of the wave.
c. the frequency of the wave.
d. both the wavelength and the frequency of the wave.
I thought the answer was d, as v = wavelength * frequency. Apparently the correct answer was A.
Could someone elaborate where i am wrong, or weather or not the textbook answer is wrong?
