Speed (v) wavelength ( λ) and frequency (f) are related as
v = f λ
v = 100 H z × 4 m = 400 m / s

Speed and wavelength are related through the following equation,
v = f λ
f is the frequency of the wave in hertz
λ is the wavelength in meters
Note that: 1 H z = 1 s 1
So here, we got:
v=100 Hz*4m
=400Hz M
= 400 m s 1
=400m/s
