A harmonic wave is traveling along a rope. It is observed that the oscillator that generates the wave completes 40.0 vibrations in 30s. ALso, a given maximum travels 425cm along the rope in 10s. What is the wavelength?

The frequency is 40/30 = 1.333 hz.

v = 425cm/10 sec = 42.5 cm/s

v = Frequency * wavelength

42.5 = 1.33 * wavelength

And solve for wavelength in cm
