Velocity is #60# cm/sec.

Veloccity of wave is frequency multiplied by wavelength.

As wavelength is #50/25=2# #cm.#

and frequency is #30# #hz.#

Velocity is #30xx2=60# cm/sec.

0.60 m/s

Since there are 25 waves in 50cm,
wavelength

#lamda=0.50/25=0.020m#.

We know that #v=flamda#

so

#v=(30)(0.020)=0.60m/s#.
