Interpretation of the equation v= λ*f?

Jonas7789ByJonas7789

Hello, can someone please help me with the following task (formula for the propagation speed of waves)?

"Interpret the equation v = λ * f. Describe the relationship that exists and derive a conclusion."

I would be very grateful if someone could explain the connection to me. Thanks in advance.

λ says how long a wave is

f says how many of them arrive per second

The product says how much time per second arrives and that is – voila – a speed.

Let's say you have a wavelength of 1m and a frequency of 1kHz. This means that the shaft is generated 1000 times in a second in succession (meaning real spatially). Then the first wave has traveled 1000 meters after a second.
