To determine the wavelength of the wave, we need to find out how many complete cycles (or oscillations) fit into the overall distance given, which is 6 meters between points A and B.
If we assume that A and B represent two points of the same phase of the wave (e.g., crest to crest or trough to trough), and that there is one complete cycle between them, the wavelength is equal to the distance between those two points.
If both A and B are indeed points of the same phase at a distance of 6 meters, then:
Wavelength = Overall Distance / Number of Cycles = 6 m / 1 = 6 m.
If the problem suggests more cycles are present between points A and B, the exact wavelength would depend on the specific number of cycles between those two points.
Since we are not provided with information about any cycles fitting between A and B in the illustration (assuming A to B covers just one cycle), the wavelength is most likely:
6 m.
