Question 61
Easy

An engineering student sets up a wave flume to investigate surface water waves. Figure 1 shows the wave profile recorded by a high-speed camera between two reference markers, P and Q.

Figure 1: Water wave profile in a wave flume

The distance between P and Q is 1.8 m.

Calculate the wavelength of the wave in metres.
