In the given image, a wave on a rope is displayed, accompanied by a diagram illustrating the wave's properties. The text above the diagram states that the length \( L \) of the wave is 5 meters.The diagram features a sinusoidal wave pattern with specific segments marked, indicating wavelengths.Below the diagram are two questions related to the properties of this wave:(a) What is the wavelength of this wave?- Input box for the answer in meters.(b) If the frequency of the wave is 4.5 Hz, what is the wave speed?- Input box for the answer in meters per second (m/s).

We will find the wavelength of the wave using the figure and once we have the wavelength using the frequency we will find the speed of the wave.a) From the figure we can see, the length L is exactly equal to 2 complete waves. Hence, if we take wavelength is λ, then we can say: 2λ=L. Given L=5 m, this gives us: 2λ=L2λ=5 mλ=2.5 m Hence, the wavelength of the wave is 2.5 m.b) Given, frequency n=4.5 Hz. Hence, the speed of the wave is: v=nλv=4.5×2.5v=11.25 m/s Hence, the speed of the wave is 11.25 m/s.
