the illustration underneath depicts a wave with a 6-meter separation between points A and B. what is the waves wavelength? Wavelength =overall distance/number of cycles

a. 2 m
b. 4 m
c. 6 m
d. 3 m

1 answer

The wave's wavelength is determined by the overall distance between two consecutive points in the wave that are in phase with each other. In this case, point A and point B have a 6-meter separation. Since there is only one cycle between these two points, the overall distance is also equal to the wavelength.

Therefore, the wavelength is 6 meters.

The answer is c. 6 m.
