Answer:

λ = 2.4 m

Step-by-step explanation:

The speed of a wave is defined as the product of the frequency and the wavelength of that wave:


v = f\lambda

where,

v = speed of wave = 24 m/s

f = frequency of wave = 10 Hz

λ = wavelength of the wave = ?

Therefore,


24\ m/s = (10\ Hz)\lambda\\\\\lambda = (24\ m/s)/(10\ Hz)

λ = 2.4 m
