A wave whose speed in a snakey is 4.4 m/s enters a second snakey. the wavelength changes from 2 m to 3 m. what is the speed of the wave at second snakey?

the speed ofthe wave on second snakey = 6.6 m/s
Explanation:
the travelling waves obeys the following rule
the speed of the wave is directly proportional to wavelength
therefore as the wave enters 2nd snakey its speed say
v(2) = constant . wavelength(say
we are given that in 1st snakey
v(1) = 4.4 m/s = constant.
therefore the constant = 2.2 per sec may be seen as (1/time period)
so, v(2) = 2.2 per sec . (
speed of the wave v(2) = 6.6 m/s
