The speed of surface waves in water decr...

The speed of surface waves in water decreases as the water becomes shallower. Suppose waves travel across the surface of a lake withn a speed of `2 m//s` and a wavelength of `1.5 m`. When these waves move into a shallower part of the lake, their speed decreases to `1.6 m//s`, though their frequency remains the same. Find the wavelength of the wave in the shallower water.
