Answer:

0.1m

Step-by-step explanation:

Given parameters:

Frequency = 12hz

Speed = 1.2m/s

Unknown:

Wavelength of the wave = ?

Solution:

The wavelength of the wave can be derived using the expression below;

V = f∧

V is the speed of the wave

f is the frequency of the wave

∧ is the wavelength

So;

∧ =
(Velocity)/(frequency)

Now, insert the parameters and solve;

∧ =
(1.2)/(12) = 0.1m
