The distance ...

Question

The distance between crest and through is 10m. Find the wavelength.

Open in App

Solution

The separation between adjacent crests (or adjacent troughs) of a wave is equal to the wavelength. The separation between a crest and an adjacent trough is half the wavelength. If this distance is 10 cm, the wavelength would be 20 cm.
