Question 5
Easy

A student sets up an experiment to investigate waves on a string. Figure 1 shows the wave pattern produced.

A diagram of a transverse wave on a string. The wave starts at point X and ends at point Y. There are exactly 3 complete wave cycles (wavelengths) between X and Y. A horizontal double-headed arrow shows that the distance from X to Y is 60 cm.

The distance between X and Y is 60 cm.

Calculate the wavelength of the wave in cm.
