v(velocity) = nu (Frequency) x Lambda (Wavelength)

Using that,

v = 40 Hz x 0.43 mt

Since the units and powers are already right, we can just multiply the two

v= 17.2 mt/s

.43 m * 40 hz = 1.72m/s

Frequency => cycles per unit time
Wavelength => distance per cycle

distance/cycle * cycles/time = distance/time

Velocity => distance per unit time
