Answer

$\lambda=10cm$

Work Step by Step

We know that, $v=f\lambda$ This can be rearranged as: $\lambda=\frac{v}{f}$..............eq(1) Then, we find the period: $T=2(0.50)=1s$ The value of the period can be used to find the frequency: $f=\frac{1}{T}=\frac{1}{1}=1Hz$ We plug in the known values in eq(1) to obtain: $\lambda=\frac{10\frac{cm}{s}}{1}=10cm$
