Problem

A transverse wave travels along a stretched string. The distance between two successive troughs on the wave is 4 cm4\,\text{cm}. For the same wave, the time taken for a particle of the string to move from one trough to the next trough is 0.02 s0.02\,\text{s}. Calculate the speed of the wave.
