Problem

A student examines a displacement–versus–position graph of a water wave at one instant. Consecutive crests occur at positions 0.00 m, 0.20 m, 0.40 m, and 0.60 m along the positive x-axis. Which of the following is the wavelength of the wave? (a) 0.40 m0.40\text{ m} (b) 0.20 m0.20\text{ m} (c) 0.60 m0.60\text{ m} (d) 0.15 m0.15\text{ m}
