Problem

On a stretched string, a crest is observed to move 7.2 m7.2\,\text{m} in 3.0 s3.0\,\text{s}. In the same interval, a point on the string executes exactly 1212 complete oscillations. Calculate the wavelength of the wave. (a) 0.30 m0.30\,\text{m} (b) 0.60 m0.60\,\text{m} (c) 1.80 m1.80\,\text{m} (d) 0.20 m0.20\,\text{m}
