Review

Figure 13-7 also shows something remarkable about waves: $\textit{During the time that it takes an individual piece of the medium to complete one cycle of oscillation, the wave travels a distance of one wavelength through the medium}$ . We can use this observation to relate the wavelength and frequency to the $\textit{speed}$ of the wave. Since the wave travels a distance $\lambda$ in a time $T$ , the $\textbf{propagation speed}$ $v_{\mathrm{p}}$ of the wave is
