Problem

A yy–xx graph of a transverse wave shows successive crests at x=0.15 mx = 0.15\,\text{m} and x=0.55 mx = 0.55\,\text{m}. A yy–tt graph taken at x=0x = 0 shows that two successive crests pass the point 0.04 s0.04\,\text{s} apart. The speed of the wave is a) 5 m s−15\,\text{m\,s}^{-1} b) 20 m s−120\,\text{m\,s}^{-1} c) 10 m s−110\,\text{m\,s}^{-1} d) 16 m s−116\,\text{m\,s}^{-1}
