Answer:

$\lambda =6.32\ cm$

Step-by-step explanation:

given,

number of cycle complete (f) = 116 cycles per minute

wavelength observed at 11 m in 1.5 m.

v = (distance)/(time)

v = (11)/(1.5)

v = 7.33 m/s

$\lambda = (v)/(f)$

$\lambda = (7.33)/(116)$

$\lambda =0.0632\ m$

$\lambda =6.32\ cm$

The wavelength of the wave is equal to
$\lambda =6.32\ cm$
