Solution

  1. A wave is a disturbance that propagates through a medium due to the repeated oscillatory motion of the medium particles.
  2. The speed of a wave is the distance travelled by the wave per unit of time.
  3. Wave speed is also calculated as the product of wavelength and frequency.
  4. The product of wavelength and frequency of a wave are constant, therefore, a wave has a constant speed.

Hence, A wave motion travels at the same speed in all directions in any medium.
