Problem

A snapshot of a transverse wave on a string taken at an instant in time shows successive crests located at positions x=0.15 mx = 0.15\,\text{m} and x=0.65 mx = 0.65\,\text{m}. If the wave oscillates at a frequency of 4.0 Hz4.0\,\text{Hz}, determine the speed of the wave along the string. Include units in your answer.
