Answer

$11.7cm$

Work Step by Step

We know that, $v=f\lambda$ This can be rearranged as; $\lambda=\frac{v}{f}$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $\lambda=\frac{350}{500}=0.7m$ We also know that one cycle is equal to $2\pi$ radians. This means that $\frac{\pi}{3}$ refers to one sixth of a cycle. Thus, the required length can be determined as $\frac{\lambda}{6}=\frac{0.7}{6}=0.117m=11.7cm$
