Answer: 15.6 metres
Explanation:
Given that:
length of wave (λ)= ?
Frequency of wave F = 28 Hertz
Speed of wave (V) = 437 m/s
The wavelength is the distance covered by the wave in one complete cycle. It is measured in metres, and represented by the symbol λ.
So, apply V = F λ
Make λ the subject formula
λ = V / F
λ = 437 m/s / 28 Hertz
λ = 15.6 m
Thus, the length of the wave is 15.6 metres
