Question

directions: answer the question about wavelength.
a wave completes three wave cycles over a distances of 45 meters. what is the wavelength of the wave?
______ meters

Explanation:

Step1: Recall wavelength formula

Wavelength ($\lambda$) is the distance per cycle. So, if $n$ cycles cover distance $d$, then $\lambda=\frac{d}{n}$.

Step2: Substitute values

Here, $d = 45$ meters, $n = 3$ cycles. So $\lambda=\frac{45}{3}$.

Step3: Calculate the result

$\frac{45}{3}=15$.

Answer:

15
