Answer:

37.5 Seconds

Explanation:
Speed = frequency * Wavelength

We can find the Frequency by the information given, Frequency = waves per second .

40 Waves per second, = 40 Hz

Wavelength = 8cm
Cm = M
8cm/100 = 0.08m

Speed = 40 Hz * 0.08m
Speed = 3.2m/s

Speed = Distance / time taken
Time = Distance / Speed

Time = 120 / 3.2

Time = 37.5 seconds
