Step-by-step solution
2 stepsCount the number of complete wavelengths.
- A complete wavelength () consists of one full cycle (e.g., one crest and one trough).
- Looking at the diagram:
- From to , there is .
- From to , there is a .
- From to , there is a .
- So, there are shown within the total distance of .
