Velocity = frequency x wavelength

              = \frac{8}{4} x 1.2

              = 0.6 m/s

The velocity of wave is 2.4m/s.

Explanation:

First, find the frequency using the formula :

f =  \frac{1}{t}

Let t = 4,

f =  \frac{1}{4}

f = 0.25Hz

Next, given that each wave is 1.2m and there are 8 waves so the wavelength is :

λ = 1.2  \times 8

λ = 9.6m

Lastly, you have to use velocity formula :

v = f \times λ \:

Let f = 0.25Hz,

Let λ = 9.6m,

v = 0.25 \times 9.6

v = 2.4
