Robert Gaines · Answer 1

Answer: 0.1 m

Explanation:

Wave speed is equal to the product of frequency and wavelength

Solution:

v = f x lambda

Derive the equation to find wavelength

lambda = v / f

= 1.2 m/s / 12 Hz

= 0.1 m

Matthias Zhang · Answer 2

Wavelength = (speed) / (frequency)

Wavelength = (1.2 m/s) / (12.0 / s)

Wavelength = 0.1 meter
