Wavelength = (speed) / (frequency)

Wavelength = (1.2 m/s) / (12.0 /s)

Wavelength = 0.1 meter

Answer: 0.1 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Wave speed is equal to the product of frequency and wavelength

Solution:

v= f x lambda

Derive the equation to find wavelength

lambda = v/ f

= 1.2 m/s / 12 Hz

= 0.1 m
