Concept explainers

Electromagnetic Waves

Electromagnetic waves are waves that consist of magnetic field and electric field components perpendicular to each other. These field components are also perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave.

Is the formula to be used is v=s/t? If so the answer is 2.07 m/s. However, my teacher told me to use the wavespeed formula that lamda= 2583 cm and frequency is 0.04 Hz. However I think that is wrong. I asked her why lamda is 2583 if it clearly states that the 2583 is the length of the pool not the wave itself. She told me that wavelength and distance is the same. But still I rejected. Is wavelength and distance the same? If not how are they different
