    52 m/s

    Explanation:

    Wavelength is the distance between two successive crests. Two crests make one circle hence 16 cycles are equal to 16 wavelengths. Each wavelength is equal to 208/16=13 m long

    Speed of wave is given as the product of wavelength and frequency, expressed as

    S=fw

    Where f is the frequency and w is the wavelength

    Substituting 13 m for w and 4 Hz for f then

    S=4*13=52 m/s

    Therefore, the speed is equivalent to 52 m/s
