Finding Wavelength

You can measure the wavelength from the snapshot graph: it is the distance between two successive crests, troughs, or other matching parts on the wave. Alternatively, you can count the number of cycles N that occur during a certain distance d, and then λ=d/N.

If you are given a history graph and the wavespeed, you can measure the >waves/period period from the history graph, and then use the formula v=λT.
