Read wavelength from position graph

In a second version of the same wave investigation, a displacement-position graph from a ultrasound sensor trial shows the horizontal distance from one crest to the next is \(1.4\,\text{m}\). Calculate the wavelength. Use the diagram first, then calculate the requested value. Enter the numerical result and choose the interpretation that matches the wave meaning.
