A laboratory experiment investigates capillary waves propagating on the surface of a liquid. The graph shows how the vertical displacement of a capillary wave varies with horizontal distance along its path of propagation.

Graph showing vertical displacement against distance

The propagation speed of the capillary wave is 1.6 m s−11.6 \text{ m s}^{-1}1.6 m s−1. Determine the frequency of this wave.
