I can’t see the picture — please upload it or describe it (show axis scale and where the crests/troughs are).
How to find the wavelength from the picture:
- Identify two adjacent points that are in phase (e.g., crest-to-crest or trough-to-trough). The distance along the x‑axis between them is the wavelength λ.
- If you only see a crest and the next trough, that distance is λ/2, so double it to get λ.
- If the picture shows several wavelengths across a known total distance, λ = (total distance) / (number of full wavelengths).
Using the multiple-choice options you gave (0.4 m, 0.5 m, 0.7 m, 1.0 m), measure the crest-to-crest distance (or use the rule above) and pick the corresponding value. If you upload the image I’ll pick the correct option for you.
