Question

directions: answer the question about wavelength.
a wave completes two wave cycles over a distances of 24 meters. what is the wavelength of the wave?
______ meters

Explanation:

Step1: Recall wavelength formula

Wavelength ($\lambda$) is the distance of one wave cycle. If a wave has $n$ cycles over distance $d$, then $\lambda=\frac{d}{n}$.

Step2: Substitute values

Here, $d = 24$ meters, $n = 2$ cycles. So $\lambda=\frac{24}{2}=12$.

Answer:

12
