    Answer: 25Hz

    Explanation:

    Given that:

    Wavelength (λ) = 0.4m (the distance between the peaks of a wave is known as wavelength)

    Frequency F = ?

    Speed of wave V = 10 m/s

    The wave frequency is the number of cycles which the wave complete in one second. It is measured in hertz, and represented by the symbol F

    So, apply the formula V = F λ

    10m/s = F x 0.4m

    F = 10m/s / 0.4m

    F = 25Hz

    Thus, the frequency of the wave is 25 Hertz.
