Solution

To find the wavelength, we first need to find the frequency of the wave. Frequency is defined as the number of waves passing through a point in a certain amount of time.

Step 1: Calculate the frequency Frequency = Number of waves / Time Frequency = 20 waves / 2 s = 10 Hz

The velocity of a wave is given by the equation: Velocity = Frequency * Wavelength

Step 2: Solve the above equation for Wavelength Wavelength = Velocity / Frequency Wavelength = 20 m/s / 10 Hz = 2 m

So, the wavelength of the sound wave is 2 meters.
