Yah, I just realized that my main issue was mixing up centimeters with meters. I found the velocity as cm/s but overlooked it and entered it as m/s.

Ah yes, this is probably the one thing I always over looked, units! Thank you, I'm going to try it again later!

My physics teacher taught us that you can measure wavelength by finding the lambda values. So we count 1λ, 1.5λ, 2λ. etc. etc. Then we use the equation (#λ)(λ)=length of wave segment. Three nodes would be one lambda value and two antinodes would be one lambda segment.

1. The problem The distance between two consecutive nodes of a standing wave is 21.9 cm. The hand generating the pulses moves up and down through a complete cycle 3.72 times every 4.22 s. Find the velocity of the wave. Answer in units of m/s 2. Some relevant things to know are: Frequency...
