In order to calculate the wavelength of the wave, use the following formula:


v=\lambda f

where:

λ: wavelength = ?

v: speed of the wave = 20 m/s

f: frequency = 10 Hz

solve the equation above for λ and replace the values of v and f:


\lambda=(v)/(f)=\frac{20m\text{ /s}}{10Hz}=2m

Hence, the wavelength of the wave is 2 m
