Answer:

#See solution for details

Step-by-step explanation:

-Wavelength of a wave is defined as the distance between two consecutive crests or troughs of a wave.

-It is denoted by the symbol,
\lambda

-Mathematically, it is equal to the speed of a wave,
v divided by it's frequency,
f:


\lambda=(v)/(f)
