Just as you are about to step into a nice hot bath, a small earthquake rattles your bathroom. Immediately afterward, you notice that the water in the tub is oscillating.

You happen to know that your bathtub is 1.4 m long, and you count 10 complete oscillations of the water in 20 s.
a. What is the wavelength of this standing wave?
b. What is the speed of the waves that are reflecting back and forth inside the tub to create the standing wave?
