Write the definition of wave speed and its $SI$ unit.
(N/A) Wave speed is defined as the distance traveled by a wave per unit time. It represents the speed at which the wave profile or the disturbance moves through the medium.
Mathematically, it is given by the product of the frequency $(f)$ and the wavelength $(\lambda)$: $v = f \lambda$.
The $SI$ unit of wave speed is meters per second $(m/s)$.
