The illustration underneath depicts a wave with a 6-meter separation between points A and B.
A
B
6 m
What is the wave's wavelength? (Wavelength = overall distance/number of cycles)
(1 point)
3 m
2 m
6 m
4 m
To find the wavelength of the wave, we need to divide the overall distance by the number of cycles.
In this case, the overall distance between points A and B is given as 6 meters. Since there is only one complete cycle between A and B, we can say that the number of cycles is 1.
Therefore, the wavelength of the wave is 6 meters divided by 1 cycle, which simplifies to 6 meters.
So the answer is 6 m.
