<span>The speed of a wave, V, is f *lambda. Where f is the frequency and lambda is the distance. If a new crest reaches the end every 4 secs; it takes 8s to cover the distance. Hence, f, which is the number of oscillations covered is 8s. So we have V = 8 * 5 = 40 ms^1.</span>

Conduction occurs more easily between solids and liquids. This is because the particles in gases are A) further apart and move f
valkas [14]
The answer is A. Further apart and move faster. 

Conduction in general is the transfer of energy from molecule to molecule through DIRECT CONTACT. In solids and liquids, the molecules are closer to each other; more so in solids than liquids. This enables them to pass energy more quickly. Gas molecules on the other hand are further apart and move faster because they have space to move more freely. Energy does not easily pass on to the next molecule because of the distance between the molecules.
