Problem

A water surface wave travels from a region of deep water into a shallower region. In the deep region its speed is 3.2 m/s3.2\,\text{m/s} and its wavelength is 0.80 m0.80\,\text{m}. The speed of the wave in the shallow region is 2.4 m/s2.4\,\text{m/s}. Determine the wavelength of the wave in the shallow region.
