Step 1
0 x 10^8 m/s. Second, we know that the velocity of a wave is equal to its frequency times its wavelength. This is represented by the formula v = fλ, where v is velocity, f is frequency, and λ is wavelength. Show more…

Gravitational waves travel at the speed of light. Their speed, wavelength, and frequency are related as $c=\lambda \times f$. If we were to observe a gravitational wave from a distant cosmic event with a frequency of 10 hertz $(\mathrm{Hz}),$ what would be the wavelength of the gravitational wave?
