A transverse wave travels along a string. The provided diagram illustrates how the displacement varies with distance along the string at a particular instant. The wave speed is (20 ; text{m s}^{-1}). What is the frequency of the wave?n

Sinusoidal Wave Displacement vs Distance A graph showing one wavelength of a sinusoidal wave. Displacement (y) vs Distance (x). The wave starts at (0,0), peaks at x=0.1, crosses zero at x=0.2, reaches a minimum at x=0.3, and returns to zero at x=0.4. Amplitude is labeled A. x (m) y O 0.1 0.2 0.3 0.4 A -A A
Hint Hint

Hint

Recall the relation (v = f lambda) and interpret the wavelength from the provided diagram.
